WARNING - CONTAINS SEASON 3 SPOILERS!
I watched the first two episodes of season 3 last night and saw the one where Tony’s mother died. The weird thing is, at the beginning when Tony was talking to her, I noticed her face didn’t look right…it seemed like they had used really bad lighting or it was CGI. When she died I thought that maybe she died in real life and they had to change the show….
So I’ve just done a bit of research and she did indeed die a few days before the season was due to be filmed; a day before her 72nd birthday. So they used old dialogue, a body double and spent $250,000 on effects to make her look like Tony’s mother.
Her death caused the writers some problems, as the original plans for the 3rd season was to have Tony squirm and suck up to his mother over fears that she might testify against him….
