Earlier this week, former Sopranos cast member Carl Capotorto held a party at Country Club to celebrate the publication of his a new memoir based on his one-man stage show, Twisted Head (the literal translation of his family name). Among the colleagues who showed up to wish him well: Ray Abruzzo, John Costelloe, David Marguiles, executive producer Ilene Landress, and director Alan Taylor.

Speaking of memoirs and book parties, the French Culinary Institute hosted a bash honoring Marcella Hazen for the publication of Amarcord. Guests there included FCI founder Dorothy Hamilton, playwright Larry Kramer, and chef Alice Waters.
