Members Ann_SS Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 Deadline is reporting that James Gandolfini had a heart attack and died in Italy. He was a talent. He made me sometimes root for and love a little the monster that was Tony Soprano. RIP, James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 I always disliked The Sopranos, but I was able to enjoy his performance in the wonderful TV movie, Cinema Verite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 wow, total shocker. I guess considering his weight this may not be totally a shock to his doctor. Whether it was weight or diet, people have to start taking care of themselves because there is no reason a guy 50 years old should be dying of a heart attack.

Members London Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 Such sad news, he was one of the great ones with classic performances. May he rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted June 20, 2013 Author Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 Lots of people die of heart attacks earlier than 50, some due to extra weight, some due to genetics. The guy is dead, it is tough on his friends, family, and fans. Spare us all the lecture or at least wait until he is cremated or buried.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 WHAT?! RIP. Prayers and thoughts go out to he and his family. There goes any hope for a Sopranos reunion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted June 20, 2013 Author Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 I remember that after his contentious salary negotiations with HBO, he gave each of his co-stars large bonus checks, around 5 figures or more. It was a cool thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 This is shocking, I saw the first season the Sopranos, he was good but I did't like it, not that it was bad, I just couldn't get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 51 is incredibly young, far too young to die. RIP James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 RIP James Gandolfini. Way to young and talented to be taken away from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 I never watched the Sopranos, but I was aware of most of the castmembers, including him. 51 is way too young to go, may he rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 I had no idea this was now a forum where I have to pretend to be personally affected by this loss, instead of actually commenting on this topic as the news that it is. If his mother reads this board she has my apologies, as we start to move away from her we wind up running into people reading this as the news item that does not affect their lives one bit, and while it is sad he is dead, it is still a story posted for commentary. Spare me your fabricated concern for people you never met and this contrived outrage over something that really was just another post on just another topic on just another message board.
