A Roseland native, Borino-Quinn was hired for The Sopranos after attending an open casting call with a friend in 2000. She had no previous acting experience before playing the role of Ginny Sacrimoni, the wife of mobster John "Johnny Sack" Sacrimoni who struggled with a weight problem.

Aside from acting, Borino-Quinn worked at a New Brunswick, N.J.,

That's truly tragic. Much too young for anyone to go, 46. I will always remember her work as an actress, particularly the episode "The Weight." Amazing to think that both she and Vincent Curatola did not have much acting experience prior to working on the show, and yet they inhabited those characters, and that relationship, so completely. My condolences to her family.

Wow! Just saw this myself. Very sad, to be sure. She played that character well and The Weight is a fantastic episode. RIP.

This is a shock. Condolences to her family.

Her contributions to The Sopranos were unique and outstanding. The Weight remains a favorite episode, and it will have new poignancy for me the next time I watch it.

It must have been a joy as a fan of the show to land that role and she did a nice job with it.

That's sad news.

She was a very good-looking woman without all that caked up Ginny Sack make up, pulled eyebrows, and black atomic mushroom cloud hairdo.
