People of the Year — 18. Lorraine Bracco

Nobody felt the bursting of the local real-estate bubble quite like Bracco, a.k.a. the shrink from The Sopranos. While the mob series was wrapping up its final season, she tried unloading her two-acre Sneden’s Landing estate. Yet over the course of 2007, the asking price was hacked away like Richie Aprile’s corpse in the butcher shop—as of September, the initial asking price of $4.4 mil has been lowered to $2.9 (call Mason Sammett at 359-4940, if you’re interested). Bracco also lost the Best Supporting Actress race at the Emmys to New Caanan’s Katherine Heigl. But there is some good news: Late in the year she was cast in a pilot for Lifetime; she got a chance to appear on Oprah (albeit to talk about her infidelity to Harvey Keitel); and her brand of vino, Bracco Wines, is already selling tens of thousands of cases. Salud!
Prediction for 2008: Long Island Confidential, the new Lifetime show, doesn’t promise to be nearly as edgy as The Sopranos, but the wine business will continue to boom. Two-Buck Bracco, anyone?
