As previously discussed, Lorraine Bracco’s character, Dr. Malfi, was incredibly important to the series. However, the Sopranos producers originally had a different vision for Bracco. Producers sought Bracco’s talents for the role of Carmela Soprano, Tony’s wife. Bracco decided that she would rather play the role of Tony’s therapist — a decision that would net her four Emmy nominations and three Golden Globe nominations. Good choice, Ms. Bracco.
