I loved her on the Sopranos, she also played the drug addicted
mom of Jax's baby on sons of anarchy.
the Sopranos were so good, eveyone really misses the series.
My new favorite is definitely however "sons of anarchy", I also really like "mad men" also.

why should anybody care what you are sick of?

By Kathleen

Why should people get married and be miserable like you- on AOL judging total strangers. If greater than 50 percent of marriages end in divorce then why get married. It is a personal choice. They are engaged for God's sake- leave them alone

By mickipa

Since when is marriage a requirement for being a good parent? Grow up!

By randy

Since when is not being married a requirement for being a good parent. It is called morals and values, did your parents teach you any? I am sick of all of these out of wedlock kids being born or women who have children without a significant other in Hollyweird and everyone thinking it is okay. It is not okay to celebrate a lack of morality. You make it sound like having bastard children is a great think, it is not.

I thought she could not have kids!! Isn't that why Chrissy smacker her around???

By pat

She is "damaged goods"

By Joe S.

White trash with money - America's shame. Not marrying the "baby momma" is a guy's way of saying, "I can dump her when I want to for a new "fiancee" and she can go on the Maury show and cry about it."

ITS SHOOTER!

I THOUGHT THAT CHICK WAS MARRIED TO ELLEN

By Karen

She really does look like Portia.

wow talk about ugly..the baby hasn't got a chance

By mhphammes

I wonder what ghetto they are from? Most of the time people think all babies out of wedlock are rappers and atheletes. These two are more proof to the contrary.

TO RANDY:
The birth of a child is what should be celebrated, not questioned if the Mother and Father are married. We and they are all God's children. He is the only one who has the right to judge. Morals and values are individual decisions, not a universal edict. By the way, my Dad was a Pastor, and he would never use the word "bastard" in regard to ANY child. Like I said before, grow up.
