‘Sopranos’ Star Charley Scalies Dead at 84

The Hollywood Reporter says they spoke with Charley’s daughter, Anne Marie Scalies … who revealed her father passed away Thursday at a nursing facility in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.

A year later, Scalies appeared on an ep of “The Sopranos” as Coach Molinaro — a high school football coach Tony had in high school who appears in Tony’s dream and berates him for his shortcomings.

Among his other credits … “Law & Order,” “Cold Case,” “Jersey Girl,” “Liberty Heights” and “Condition Red.”

He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Angeline, his kids Chuck, Angeline, Tony, Christa and Anne Marie and several grandchildren.
