Bracco was born in Brooklyn to an Italian-American father and an English mother.

Bracco made her American feature film debut in Ridley Scott's 1987 thriller, "Someone to Watch Over Me." Other film credits include "The Pick-Up Artist," "Switch," "Radio Flyer," "Medicine Man," "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues," "Hackers" and "Basketball Diaries."
