Denise Borino-Quinn, who unexpectedly won a role as a mafia wife on The Sopranos, has died aged 46.
The Farmer Funeral Home in Roseland, New Jersey, said Borino-Quinn died on Wednesday after a long battle with liver cancer.
Her husband, Luke Quinn Jr, died in March.

The character quickly became popular with fans and was featured in an October 2002 episode.
Borino-Quinn had attended the casting call mostly to support a childhood friend and was shocked when she was hired for the HBO show.
"I had no intention of going to the open audition, and that was only ?because it was advertised all over the newspapers and radio, and I knew it ?was gonna be totally nuts," she was quoted as saying.
"To this day, I still can't believe this happened to me."
When she wasn't acting, Borino-Quinn worked at a New Brunswick law firm.
When asked in 2009, she said she wanted fans to remember her cheerful personality.
"I guess I want to be remembered for always being genuinely nice to people and being able to put a smile on their face," she said.
