Via Boston25news.com. Everybody remembers the commercial from their childhood. The Mom sticking her head out the window of her apartment and yelling, "Anthonyyyyyyyyyyyyy."
Anthony Martignetti who played the boy in the Prince Spaghetti commercial, that started running in 1969 and seemed to run forever, has died at the age of 63.
He was 12 years old when he starred in the commercial that became a classic. Running through the streets of Boston's North End like an Olympian after his Mother calls him for dinner, not wanting to be late because, "Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti day." It was such a part of our childhood.
Anthony's brother said he passed away in his sleep. Funeral services will be Friday at St. Theresa’s in West Roxbury and he will be buried at the Forest Hill Cemetery.
Let's run through the North End with him one more time. "Anthonyyyyyyyyyyy!"
