Soprano Sue (www.sopranosuessightings.com) of Clifton may be the number one fan of the fictional mob epic that concludes Sunday.
She has spent the last seven years tailing Tony and the cast, snapping great photos of the HBO show crew up and down the state and posting them on her website. Along the way she’s become a fountain of Sopranos trivia, and collected a boatload of great merch. Like the shirt with 28 autographs, or the huge toy truck with the Sopranos logo on its side. And the key to the city of Miami that was presented to the entire cast—and given to Sue by a cast member. In 2005, Sue got a walk-on role as an extra and made it into the director’s commentary on the Season 6 DVD. And she’s webmaster to a half dozen cast member’s websites. The end “is a little sad, ” she says, as we stand outside the Clifton two-family that is Tony’s safe house. Nothing on the outside of the plain green and white building betrays its fame. But its occupants must know this will be its legacy. The state itself has been a supporting character—rich in texture and varied in location. From Boonton to Atlantic City and all exits in-between the butchers, the bakers and the Bada Bings have helped give life to the saga. How will Sunday’s finale go down? ”If I tell you I have to kill you. I took the oath of omerta,” she says. We believe her.
