Estelle Getty passed away today. In honor of her greatness, here is a quote that embodies the old Sicilian we know and love:
In Sicily, we never went to the doctor. We went to the Widow Scarpelli. Whatever you had, she had a cure for it. She was most famous for her green salve to cure earaches. One day, she gave some to Salvatore, the village idiot. He misunderstood the directions and put in on his pasta instead.
Rest In Peace, Sophia Petrillo.
