Anthony Martignetti Dies: Child Star Of Long-Running "Anthony! Anthony!" Spaghetti Commercial [View all]

“Anthony! Anthony!,” the mother shouted from the second floor of a Boston North End tenement apartment building overlooking an urban alley, her voice seeming to carry over numerous city blocks as 12-year-old Anthony runs home for his favorite Prince-brand spaghetti dinner.

The image from the long-running television commercial (watch it below) will be familiar to any regular TV watcher of the late 1960 and ’70s, as will the look of happiness on the boy’s face when he arrives home for family dinner.

Anthony Martignetti, the 12-year-old Boston kid who starred in the spot, died at 63 in his sleep Sunday Aug. 23 at his home in West Roxbury, Mass. His brother Andy Martignetti announced his death in a Facebook post. No cause of death was given.
