	Internet Obituary Network, Obituary for Nancy Marchand, 1928-2000
		Marchand's classical training in Shakespearian drama, and she created a domineering woman who was equally capable of putting the toughest crime boss on an analyst's couch, or, if need be, the bottom of a river, even if he was her own son.
		Marchand was channeled into the performing arts by her mother, a professional pianist, in an effort to remedy her of her crippling shyness.
		Marchand became a frequent guest star on television series, waiting until 1995 for a plum role as the mother of Harrison Ford in Sydney Pollack's remake of "Sabrina".

	Salon.com ent A grande dame -- and a grand pain
		Nancy Marchand, who died of lung cancer Sunday, just one day short of her 72nd birthday, was one of the grande dames of American acting.
		Marchand's Livia, the angry, demanding, manipulative, verbally abusive mother of mobster Tony Soprano, was a towering character, a monster in a housecoat.
		When Marchand took the role of Livia, she made it clear to all concerned that she was battling cancer, as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but Chase and HBO took a chance on her anyway.

		Marchand was usually cast in character roles: she was the dateless "dog" with whom lonely Bronx butcher Rod Steiger fell in love in the original 1953 telecast of Paddy Chayefsky's Marty.
		Marchand won an Obie for her stage performance as the Madam of a fantasy-granting brothel in Genet's The Balcony (also in the cast were future TV stars Michael Conrad and Jack Dodson).
		In later years, Nancy explained that she retreated to contemporary characters on TV because she was "tired of being a queen or a poor put-upon Greek" on stage.

	Livia Let Die - Let her rest in one piece. By Jodi Kantor
		Replacing Nancy Marchand with a bunch of recycled, patched-together images is a ghastly anti-tribute to the great, lately departed actress.
		Bringing Nancy Marchand back from the dead for a guest appearance is the creepiest thing I have heard since I found out that Strom Thurmond was still alive.
		Marchand doesn't have an answer—presumably there was nothing appropriate in the old footage—and Tony drops the question.

	Deaths of November - December 2000
		It seems appropriate that Nancy Marchand, the actress who capped her long and distinguished acting career with the cable TV role of Livia Soprano, would use her four Emmy awards as the legs of a coffee table.
		Sadly, viewers won’t get to see the answer in the next season of The Sopranos from Nancy Marchand, who was uncomfortable with real people but so at home in front of an audience that she made her household furniture from its accolades.
		In the role of Lydia Soprano on the HBO series The Sopranos, Marchand found a nice antidote to the “tasteful lady syndrome.” As Lydia she portrayed a sullen, self-pitying, and perhaps senile matriarch of a mafia family who sought to undermine her son Tony, the titular head of the family business.

		But in Nancy Marchand's case, we have to concede that the theater and its followers did not make as much of her as she deserved.
		Pynchon, a forceful, maternal figure as different from Livia as Livia was from the Nancy Marchand her theater colleagues knew and loved.
		Only now, looking back across a career that spanned half a century, can we realize that Nancy Marchand accomplished one of the near-impossible feats of American acting: She made even the technological media, home of typecasting, perceive her as a repertory actress, cutting across class and ethnic lines as easily as she traversed the generations.

		Nancy Marchand, who died of lung cancer on June 18 at age 71, left her final impression as an actress in her portrayal of Livia Soprano, the grasping, neurosis-inducing mobster mother on HBO's The Sopranos.
		During the show's second season, Marchand made the shortness of breath she suffered work for her as an actor's tool--using her necessary pauses for dramatic effect, and signaling her character's angry...
		Performing with a brave rejection of TV-star glitz, Marchand turned Livia's shapeless housedresses and tattered bedroom slippers into the dowdy costume of a deposed matriarch.

		Producers of the HBO series used tape editing and computer technology to craft a scene with Livia Soprano talking to her son, Tony, even though actress Nancy Marchand died last June before filming for the new season began.

	"Sopranos" Shocker: Livia Returns from the Dead - Feb 27, 2001 - E! Online News
		Indeed it is, as Sopranos creator David Chase had to find some way to wrap up the Mama Soprano storyline after the inimitable Nancy Marchand's untimely death last June--in between the HBO show's second and third seasons.
		"We might not have done the scene at all, but people would know that Nancy had died and it was my judgment that [viewers] would be pulled out of the show even more because [they] would be thinking about Nancy Marchand and not about Livia," Chase says.
		"I wish the Lord would take me now," responds Livia, with what appears to indeed be previous footage of Marchand's head rather precariously set atop a body that, though age-appropriate for the character, seems to have too little neck.
