Mary Fiumara, the woman who shouted âAnthony! Anthony!â in an iconic Prince pasta commercial, died on February 2 at 88 years old. Fiumaraâs son confirmed Fiumaraâs passing to The Boston Globe .
Anthony MartignettiâFiumaraâs son in the commercialâwas 12 years old when he starred in the âWednesday is Prince Spaghetti Dayâ commercial alongside Fiumara, according to the Globe . In the 1969 advertisement, Martignetti is seen running home for a pasta dinner after Fiumara shouts his name from a Powers Court apartment window. According to Martignetti, even before the commercial gave Fiumara TV recognition, Fiumara was a âlegendâ of the neighborhood.
Yep, local in the Boston area. Maybe other northeast states?
A local pasta company.
When I was in elementary school, every kid named Anthony heard his name yelled “Anthony, Anthony” like the mom did in
the commercial....I’m sure they were sick of it. (Think about every woman named STELLA!)
ah youthful memories. When did I get old?
RIP to that actress.
Let us talk movie rights!
lol. It would be SOME book. I was past insane in my 20s and needed the higher ups a number of times to bail me out.
The poor man who i had to keep bugging is in his 80s now, and he started telling the stories (the statutes are up, lol) at the last family party and I was so embarrassed.
told my nephews that’s not proper behavior lol
At first I thought about it being in poor taste. But then I realized when the little granita pasta way, it would be fitting to honor her with humor. Now she’ll have a little pizza history in a small cornetto of the Internet.
It was that was “one speecy” , spicy meetahball”
Lol.
I cannot remember s**t , or CRS disease as my friend calls it,
I do have an annoying habit of remembering Jingles though.
Go figure.
