Whoa: James Gandolfini Has Died

He was only 51

Actor James Gandolfini died suddenly after a suspected heart attack while on holiday in Rome to attend the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily. He was 51. Gandolfini will be forever known for his portrayal of mob boss Tony Soprano on the seminal HBO series The Sopranos, which eventually won him 3 Emmy Awards and a $1,000,000-an-episode paycheck.

RIP, my fellow New Jerseyan.

   TONY!

   I am heartbroken.

   But not surprised. Can’t tell you how many times watching the series YEARS ago we said, “You’re going to die.” What a shame.

   Maybe you shouldn’t have said that?

   Sigh.. as Billy Joel famously said:”Only the good die young.”
