James Gandolfini
At Park Ridge High School in Park Ridge, New Jersey, back in 1979, senior James Gandolfini cheekily donned a handkerchief and frock --looking very much like a gentle Italian Grandmother, ironically! Sadly, the popular and respected actor passed suddenly on a vacation in Italy in June of 2013. There was something larger than life about James Gandolfini, despite his quiet, constantly thinking, confident nature, and he showed a flair for entertaining people even back in high school.
