A “Rossi/Lorraine Bracco Note”

November 19, 2024

Maybe this is not quite a “who but me?!–however, in watching the excellent documentary “Wise Guy David Chase and The Sopranos” (thanks to Al Brown for recording it), I “discovered” what manifests into a “Rossi/Lorraine Bracco” note.

Ms. Bracco played “Karen Hill” in “Goodfellas” and in it, her character flips out a bit, memorably ringing every bell in the apartment building of a woman named “Rossi,” who is having an affair with Karen’s husband, the somewhat, infamous real life, Henry Hill, played by the relatively recently departed, Ray Liotta.

A far more dire, violent enemy truly hurts a Bracco played character, Dr. Jennifer Melfi in the largely Chase, brilliant series, “The Sopranos.”

In an episode titled “Employee of the Month,” said “employee” is Jesus ROSSI, who rapes the Dr. Melfi character. I noticed that all these years later, again watching the excellent documentary about Mr. Chase.

Citing Mario Polit, pictured above, is a real life, New York City firefighter and actor.

Mr. Polit in a role 180 degrees from polite, played “Jesus Rossi” on the seminal TV series, “The Sopranos.”
