The unexpected death of a loved one is the worst torment that may befall you. It’s practically unbearable for a person to see the death of someone they just saw alive. Today’s story is about an actress who was moved by the unexpected loss of a venerable friend.
The loss of the on-screen Husband
In 1992, Aida Turturro and James Gandolfini appeared as husband and wife in a Broadway revival of “A Streetcar Named Desire.” Even after the series ended, the actors maintained contact and formed a close friendship.
James became one of Aida’s most trusted pals. As a result, when James pushed her to audition for The Sopranos, she did so and was cast in the series as the sister of James’ character, Tony Soprano.
Aida Turturro had conceded that not only she, but everyone who knew him, couldn’t help but like him. However, James, a close friend of hers, died in 2013 as a result of a heart attack. In a July 2013 interview with hollywoodlife.com, she discussed his kind demeanor and how his untimely passing affected her. She stated,
“Well you know, everybody has a different memory because they have a different relationship. Whether it’s from television or individually. I think that to me, personally, I have a lot of love for him – I have my own memories. The beautiful thing is, he had a very, very, huge incredible soul and it just went on forever. His love & his generosity is why he had a church full of women AND men crying. It was a great loss – not because of his acting – I mean he was a great actor of course – but really because he was a generous and beautiful entity & I’ve known him since 1992 & I still kind of can’t comprehend it.”
“I think it’s a process. I think at first you’re hit with it and you can’t believe it & then you slowly process it. Sometimes for people it takes Awhile to process – you turn around & your like ‘oh my god is he not here anymore?’ Everybody’s processing it in their own way – nobody’s happy about it & it’s not easy for anyone.”
