Nancy Marchand

And did you take on the voice? Oh, gosh.

How could anybody do anything the way Nancy Marchand could? Somebody said to me, just read it exactly the opposite way you think it should sound and it'll sound just like Nancy because she had such a wonderful way with dialogue.

I adored her.

What a powerful pairing.

Yes.

And it is then poor Linda Kelsey

having to read the Nancy, the Nancy Marchand book.

I mean, it's pretty hard to top the mayor from the original, Nancy Marchand or whatever.

She's not like the chief, but she's basically the chief.

It's kind of the chief boss lady kind of character.

I'm so glad.

Olivia, we're getting some great Nancy Marchand these episodes.

I'm so glad to have Olivia back.

They've added a new dimension

So I would like to pay tribute to them, and I would like to ask you some of your favorite stories about a few of the actors who will not be here.

And I'd like to start with Nancy Marchand, who you worked with in the first season, and she's such a fabulous actress.

Do you think you could share one of your favorite stories working with her or otherwise?

I did most of my work with Nancy Marchand, who was from Buffalo, New York, and of course with James Gandolfini, and a bit with Steve Sherpa and Bobby Bacalar.

These are the main people I worked with.

A little bit with Ed Strachan, who was also my carer.

And we just went right into it.

Was your first day shooting, was Nancy, am I wrong?
