It was the rich thing to do, especially back then.
This remains one ofThe Sopranos many defining themes: class, wealth, and the illusion of wealth.

She was the person in that home who kept that family together, as much as she could have.
She also had to play the strong one for everybody else too.

I used to spend a couple of thousand dollars on [Carmelas] makeup.
I shopped there so much that the makeup artist at the counter knew my name.
She was a complete 180 of Carmela, says Salandra of the characters look.
Yes, Narducci, playing a boss in every sense of the word.
But unlike Falco and de Matteo, Narducci got the everywoman treatment in theSopranosmakeup trailer.
Charmaine was the voice of reason on the show, Narducci says.
She and [her husband] Artie were legitimate.
They had a real business, they werent crooks.
Charmaines look was more demure, more low-key.
They played me down so I didnt look like the other women.
I always begged them: Cant I dress a little more sexy?
Creator David Chase and the makeup team finally gave Charmaine her makeover moment in season three.
I looked like one of the mob wives, and I was so fucking happy.
It just made me feel sexy and powerful.
From there, Charmaines story took a bit of a turn.
[Its about] being powerful in the everyday world, she says.
Its such a fun, powerful look because its saying, I dont give a fuck.
Yeah, look at me.
