What happened to Donna Pescow?

Donna Pescow - Then (1977)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back then she was described as an affable, petite actress (she's 5'1") who got her big break with a role as the rejected partner of dancer Tony Manero (John Travolta) in "Saturday Night Fever". Donna gained 40 pounds for her role as Annette in the movie.

Donna Pescow - Now
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was watching the last episode of The Sopranos last night, and I couldn't stop thinking about the actress who plays the role of Donna Parisi (wife of Patsy Parisi). I knew I had seen her before. I never forget a face. I recognized the familiar facial expressions and the way she raised her eyebrows when speaking. Other than that, she's almost unrecognizable. She used to be this tiny, cute girl. Now she's playing the role of a mobster's wife on the Sopranos and she's much heavier. On The Sopranos they had her hair done in a big black hairdo, which made it even more difficult to place where I had seen her before. Wow...what a drastic change.
