Denise Borino Quinn Dies

Denise Borino Quinn Dies - Borino-Quinn died Wednesday after succumbing to a long battle with liver cancer, according to the Farmer Funeral Home in Roseland. She grew up in the Essex County borough, and lived part of her adult life in Bordentown Township in an apartment complex near Route 130.

The final year for the part-time actress, who also worked as a legal secretary, was a tragic one.

He husband, Luke Quinn Jr., died suddenly of a heart attack in March. Her mother also died a few months earlier, according to attorney Marc Gaffrey, her friend and former boss.

"The world has lost a wonderful, wonderful woman," Gaffney said Saturday. "A lot of people went to her funeral, and that wasn't because she was a TV star. She touched a lot of people in our office."

Borino-Quinn won the role on the popular HBO show unexpectedly after attending an open casting call to support a childhood friend who was auditioning. She has said she was shocked when hired for the recurring role as wife to Tony Soprano's rival Johnny "Sack" Sacramoni.

Although being seen by an international audience, Borino-Quinn kept her day job as a legal secretary in a New Brunswick law office. Gaffrey said he had no idea she was a member of hit show's cast when he hired her six years ago, even though he was a fan of the show.

"I just didn't make the connection," he said. "The Sopranos thing was something that just happened unexpectedly. She was a legal secretary for many years, and very proud of her work."

Homes Losing Value Fastest

Homes Losing Value Fastest - Homeowners with Citigroup loans in foreclosure-rich Virginia Beach, Va., and Orlando, Fla., are in luck. The mortgage giant announced today that it will impose a moratorium on most foreclosures and modify $20 billion in mortgages to enable homeowners who are not behind on their loans, but in danger of falling behind, to avoid foreclosure. Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively. It's a similar story in El Centro, Calif., Bakersfield, Calif., and Cumberland, Md. What's certain to follow? Foreclosures. "Negative...
