Not wanting to detract from his untimely death.....but he wasn't really a 'star'.
Nope, I saw the headline on some random paper the other day and frantically searched the news sources for something on Tony, Paulie or Silvio, to discover the world's most tenuous link. Ever.Sad that someone's felt the need to top themselves, but "Sopranos Star", my arse.
