A mob war erupted this weekend at the Long Island wedding of late Gambino family boss John Gotti’s namesake grandson. Father-of-the-groom/made man Carmine Agnello and Mafia princess/ex-wife Victoria Gotti traded barbs Friday night over her date for the evening — hunky soap opera star Jack Scalia (ex-Chris, All My Children; ex-Nicholas, Dallas), attendees said.

“I’m in recovery now for 30 years,” says Lawford, who had a 15-year career as an actor (including three years playing Charlie Brent on All My Children), lawyer, executive and producer. “For about 20 of those, I was anonymous, speaking in church basements and other 12-step programs.

There was such an avalanche of response that I began speaking publicly … It was important for me to give back, to be a part of the solution.”
