Summary
We've covered some doozies of divorces on this show, but today Alicia has a breakup that took years - in spite of the couple in question not being married. We're talking about actress Lorraine Bracco, whose messy split from actor Harvey Keitel made her life nearly impossible for most of the 1990s, before a little show called The Sopranos turned everything around for her.
