If you are old this will take you back and make you feel even older.

Anthony Martignetti was just a kid in Boston's Little Italy in 1969 when he was picked to be in a commercial for Prince Spaghetti because he was not rude and was just a nice kid.
That commercial ran for 13 years, you couldn't avoid it and it became iconic, not only in Boston but in the entire country.
He made about $20,000 over the years off that one commercial.
He passed away last Sunday in his sleep at 63.

RIP Anthony...my next spaghetti dinner will be in honor of you.







The lady that played his mom, also just regular people from the same neighborhood, passed away in Feb 2016 at 88 years old.
