James Gandolfini died suddenly in Italy after a suspected heart attack. He was 51.
Shocking.

I just lost a former co-worker tonight from a heart attack. He was 38. Recently married and moved to Australia (where he was originally from).
Way too young for this to be happening.

Besty I'm sorry about your co-worker. That is so very young!
And my condolences to the Gandolfini family. So sad.

Posted: 6/19/13 at 8:22pmRIP. He really churned out a lot of good projects and scene-stealing supporting roles in Zero Dark Thirty ("We're all smart, Jeremy.") and the woefully underrated films Killing Them Softly and Not Fade Away. He had a project he was doing with Nicole Holofcener that he just completed. A great character actor who became one of the most iconic characters in either film or television in the last 20 years.

Posted: 6/19/13 at 8:25pmSuch a shame. And I always had such a crush on him.

...I remember him from over 20 years ago when he was a bartender on 59th and 1st.
He was working off off off Broadway as an actor, and my friend Lisa and I would try to go see his shows to support him, because he was one of the good guys (and as a bartender, always 'topped us off' and kept the drinks flowing when we couldn't really afford to be out all night!)
In the years since, he created one of the most iconic characters in TV history, along with other great turns, large and small, on stage and screen.
Ya done good. Even though you weren't near done.

Posted: 6/19/13 at 8:38pmI certainly wouldn't call myself an intimate friend, but I had the privilege of knowing him personally for over ten years, and he was a truly wonderful man. This is an absolute shock, and he will be missed by so many.

Addy, I love that story. He was "one of the good ones," definitely.
Thanks to the folks who chimed in about my friend and co-worker. I didn't mean to steal Gandofini's thunder in any way (and who could, I ask you?).
It's just that I was feeling particularly vulnerable already this evening about people who are here one second and gone the next. My friend/co-worker was a gentle soul. Very dedicated to his work (TV production and film). He was always in early and stayed late because of his passion for what he was doing. I was so happy for him when he moved back to Australia about three years ago, and even more happy when he married last year. And at 38, today was his last day on the planet.
Then to read about James Gandolfini, a giant of the small screen. An icon in television history, who was not much older than I am now.
I feel like I'm walking on eggshells. I hope his time in Italy was wonderful and that he left the earth enjoying the beauty and finer things in life.

...all so true. So very, very true.
Time is so precious.

I can't wrap my head around this news. I'm shocked.
My heart is heavy for his family, especially his 8-month-old daughter who will never know her father. We are lucky to have his presence and talent captured so marvelously on screen.

Lipton: Finally, Jim, if Heaven exists what would you like to have God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
Gandolfini: Take over for awhile, I'll be right back. (laughs)
