It happened a week ago but Actor James Gandolfini known (at last to me) as Tony Soprano on the well known mob show the Sopranos died at 51 while on vacation in Italy.
Loved the show sad to see him go. RIP tony.
(a thread may have been made about this a when it initially happened a week ago but I don't recal seeing one.)
