Vincent Gardenia a tribute from Michael Cala.
Michael Cala
I interviewed my dad's childhood friend Vincent Gardenia for a cover article in the NEW YORK SUNDAY NEWS ROTOGRAVURE (color) section. I spent days interviewing him, taking him to the Basilio Italian restaurant in Grasmere, Staten Island. He had just been Oscar-nominated for his role in MOONSTRUCK, with Cher and Nick Cage. We both spoke Sicilian, so we conversed in two languages. Vincent was funny and pleasant, totally unlike his many "curmudgeon" roles. We discussed his 40 years in Lower Manhattan's Italian Theater, run by his dad Gennaro. He invited me to his home, an apartment in his sister's two-family Bensonhurst house about 5 blocks from where my parents lived, and where I had grown up. He was a nice guy with lots of local friends.
