Anyone else love Carmela? For an older lady, she's kind of cute in Part I, with her singing and her bashful old fashioned Italian nature. "No, no, no" all bashful about singing, and then sings wonderfully. And in Part II we can see she was very much her husband's wife; by that I mean, she understood both who he was, accepted it and complemented him perfectly, and she seemed to be pretty wise and smart herself.

I wish rustic sort of old fashioned Italian women were around today who were young, but who held on to the traditions of Italy...Like a modern day Carmela Corleone. Not a "guidette" or "Jersey Shore" girl but a tasteful old fashioned Italian girl
