At the beginning of the millennium a Mobsters series dominated television: the series about the trials of Tony Soprano and the New Jersey mafia launched many careers, but Lady Gaga’s was not one of them. In 2001, 15-year-old Stefani Germanotta, who cherishes her dreams of becoming an actress, appeared for one scene in the ninth episode of the third season of the series.
