A funeral service for James Gandolfini, who played Mob boss Tony Soprano on the hit television series The Sopranos and had a celebrated theatre career, is taking place today in New York City.
The ceremony at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, one of the largest churches in the city, began at 10 a.m. ET on Thursday, a day after a private wake was held in New Jersey.
The Sopranos creator David Chase and Gandolfini's widow, Deborah Lin Gandolfini, were among those slated to share memories of the actor during the ceremony.
Guests began gathering outside the Manhattan cathedral earlier in the morning, including former TV talk show host Dick Cavett, actor Steve Buscemi and Sopranos co-star Aida Turturro, who played Gandolfini's sister. Organizers prepared about 1,500 seats, with members of the public to be seated after the invited guests.
Died suddenly in Italy
Gandolfini, 51, died of a heart attack last week while vacationing in Italy. The actor had been headed to Sicily to appear at the Taormina Film Festival, which paid tribute to him Saturday.
Broadway theatres also honoured the entertainer by dimming their lights briefly Wednesday night.
Gandolfini won three Emmy Awards for his role in the HBO drama The Sopranos. The series premiered in the U.S. in 1999 and ended in 2007. It's still in syndication.
Gandolfini worked steadily in film and on stage after the series ended. He earned a 2009 Tony Award nomination for his role in the celebrated production of God of Carnage.
Gandolfini and his wife Deborah, who were married in 2008, have a daughter, Liliana, born last year. The actor and his former wife, Marcy, have a teenage son, Michael.
