I enjoyed their first conversation with Edie Falco, who portrayed Tony Soprano’s wife, Carmela.

In this surprising, humorous, and heartfelt trip down memory lane, HBO's groundbreaking series The Sopranos is fondly remembered by those most involved in its creation and phenomenal success.
David Pitt,
Booklist
There are plenty of tantalizing bits of trivia...but this isn’t just a trivia collection. Mostly it’s about friends and colleagues getting together to pay tribute to one another and to a series that rewrote many of the rules of television.
