It may have first hit screens over 20 years ago, but The Sopranos is still remembered as one of the greatest TV shows of all time. And there's a whole story behind the scenes that even the diehard fans may not know. This is the untold truth of The Sopranos.
People assume that The Sopranos could have had any number of different influences.
