Denise Borino-Quinn (January 6, 1964 – October 27, 2010) was an American television actress who had a recurring role as Ginny Sacramoni, the overweight wife of New York mob boss Johnny Sack in the television series The Sopranos.
She was born in Roseland, New Jersey. She attended West Essex High School, the same school as Sopranos creator David Chase although nearly 20 years apart.
To obtain the part of Ginny Sacramoni, she attended the casting call in Harrison, New Jersey to support a friend and because she thought it would be fun to watch the crowds. She was picked from 14,000 actresses. Previously, she had been a legal assistant in New Brunswick, New Jersey firm of Hoagland-Longo.
She later lost 175 pounds via stomach stapling. She married Luke Quinn, Jr., in 2005 and they lived in Bordentown, New Jersey. He died in March 2010. They had no children. She died only seven months later from liver cancer on October 27, 2010 at the age of 46.
