By Anne Cohen June 20, 2013
Nothing makes the Twittersphere explode like the death of a beloved star, and no exception was made for James Gandolfini, who died last night at age 51. After news broke of “The Sopranos” star sudden heart attack in Italy, Hollywood rushed to express its shock and grief in 140 characters.
Bye, bye Tony. We’ll miss you too.
The great James Gandolfini passed away today. Only 51. I can’t believe it.
