This Saturday, “The Sopranos” star James Gandolfini married former
model Deborah Lin in a quite intimate space in the bride’s hometown of Honolulu, Hawaii.
The ceremony, which lasted only 20 minutes, kept with the island
locale. A harpist played “Hawaiian Wedding Song” as the newlyweds wore long,
green leis around their necks. The bride, 40-years-old, walked down the aisle
in a white, Italian lace gown.
Gandolfini, 46-years-old, made his first public appearance with
Deborah Lin in March 2007, on the red carpet for the premiere of the final
season of HBO series “The Sopranos,” back in New York. They have been engaged
since the end of 2007.
The reception took place at a nearby resort, where James Gandolfini
and Deborah Lin looked out onto the 200 guests in the wedding ballroom. “There
were lots of white flowers on the tables and Gandolfini was beaming,” a source
reported to People.
Gandolfini’s 8-year-old son, Michael, from his former
marriage to Marcy Wudarsk, was the wedding’s best man.
James Gandolfini divorced Marcy Wudarski in December 2002
after three years of marriage. Gandolfini was also briefly engaged to Lora
Somoza in 2004.
Currently, James Gandolfini is working on Tony Scott’s
production “The Taking of Pelham 123.”, where he portrays the mayor of New York City.
The movie, also starring Denzel Washington and John
Travolta, is based on the thriller novel by Morton Freedgood.
In the film, New
York’s mayor, played by Gandolfini, is under a lot of
pressure, as a group of criminals, led by John Travolta’s character, take over
a subway train and threaten to kill the passengers if they are not paid. Denzel
Washington plays a cop involved in stopping the hi-jackers. The movie is
scheduled for release in July 2009.
Other projects blooming for Gandolfini involve Spike Jonze’s
film “Where the Wild Things Are,” where the actor provides the voice for one of
the Wild Things, and a drama directed by Philip Kaufman, where he will play the
role of author Ernest Hemingway. The drama will also be produced by Gandolfini
himself.
