HBO’s The Sopranos.The actress, who played Meadow Soprano in the beloved drama, was speaking on the Life Is Short podcast when she revealed that she only found out about her on-screen dad’s generosity after he died.Sigler was diagnosed with the disease in 2002, during the making of the show, and Gandolfini was the first person that she shared the news with on set.“I found out after his death that he donated to MS organizations constantly for me,” she said.Remembering the moment that she shared her diagnosis with him, she said: “He pulled me aside one day and he said, ‘Jamie, what is going on?’ I just fell in a puddle in his arms. And I was just like, ‘I’m so scared, but I have MS, and I don’t know how to tell anybody.’ And he’s like, ‘Your secret’s safe with me.'”Sigler has been highly complimentary of the late actor in the past, revealing last year that Gandolfini would often publicly doubt himself and proclaim “I fucking suck” on set during the making of the HBO classic, adding that she felt it was primarily a way for him to help his fellow actors.“It had nothing to do with his confidence,” Sigler told the Inside of You podcast.
“He would question himself. There would be moments where he’d be like, ‘I fucking suck,’ but I appreciated that because I’ve had those thoughts but I didn’t say them out loud because I don’t want anybody to know that I think I suck.
