A recently released book claims HBO was “concerned” about The Sopranos star James Gandolfini “staying alive” during the show’s filming.
The actor, who played Italian-American mob boss Tony Sopranos on the six-season drama, died in 2013 after suffering a heart attack.
Meanwhile, Albrecht, who was also interviewed for Miller’s oral history book, told the investigative reporter that HBO hosted an intervention for Gandolfini at his Manhattan home.
Gandolfini responded to the intervention, Albrecht recalled, by screaming at the people waiting for him, daring Albrecht to fire him, and storming out.
