Actor James Gandolfini of 'The Sopranos' dies at 51
Actor James Gandolfini, who rose to fame as crime boss Tony Soprano on the �The Sopranos,� has died of a possible heart attack in Italy, HBO confirmed to Fox News.
There were few immediate details surrounding his death at 51, although he was on vacation in Rome, his managers said.
Gandolfini, a New Jersey native, appeared in films and on the stage before his breakthrough part in 1999 as Mafia boss Tony Soprano in the HBO series, which brought him three Emmys during its six-year run.
�We're all in shock and feeling immeasurable sadness at the loss of a beloved member of our family,� said a statement from HBO. �He was special man, a great talent, but more importantly a gentle and loving person who treated everyone no matter their title or position with equal respect.
�He touched so many of us over the years with his humor, his warmth and his humility. Our hearts go out to his wife and children during this terrible time. He will be deeply missed by all of us. �
Our prayers go out to those he left behind. Fifty-one is way to young.
