[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 341143, member: 27"] Mrs. Rossini was Tony's motherly (as in "nosy, caring, but often overbearing in a loving way") neighbor in Brooklyn. We first met Mrs. Rossini in the pilot, as the one talking to Tony out her window as he packed to leave for Connecticut. They brought her in whenever they needed to remind the audience about 'the old neighborhood' for whatever reason, though I found it a nice bit of continuity that they kept her in the mix. That bit about interviewing 'the late Katherine Helmond' sounds absolutely hysterical, and I can imagine she would have been totally on board with it. Helmond guest-starred on an episode of[I] Benson [/I](the [I]Soap[/I] spin-off) where her character Jessica Tate was secretly seeing a rich, rather famous elderly man who died "in the saddle" so to speak. To avoid a scandal, she had to enlist Benson to help her get the dead guy out of the hotel to be found someplace else. They were wheeling him around, standing up on a dolly of some sort as Jessica pretended to be talking to him and laughing at his jokes. [/QUOTE]
