Lady Gaga looks back on her small role in The Sopranos—and she has some notes
Before she was Lady Gaga, she played "Girl at Swimming Pool #2" in season three of The Sopranos

Years before Lady Gaga made her debut with 2008's The Fame, and became one of the biggest names in pop music and eventually starred in blockbuster films, Stefani Germanotta played a small background role in an episode from The Sopranos’ third season.
In the 2001 episode, “The Telltale Moozadell,” 14-year-old Gaga plays a cigarette smoking, giggling young girl who looks on as A.J. Soprano (Robert Iler) and his friends destroy the school’s pool. The scene only lasts a few moments, but in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gaga points out exactly where she went wrong.
“When I look back on that scene I can see exactly what I did wrong in that scene,” Gaga says. “I didn’t know how to listen in a scene! I was supposed to laugh, and it was sort of like, cue, laugh…. I see it and I go, ‘oh, that’s not a real laugh!’”
