Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, best known for playing Meadow Soprano on HBO‘s Emmy-award winning drama The Sopranos, has cancelled her speaking engagement at ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ University on Thursday, Feb. 15.
Sigler was to talk about her battle with anorexia, which she first documented in her 2002 book Wise Girl: What I‘ve Learned About Life, Love and Loss. She is a spokesperson for the National Eating Disorders Association and has said that she exercised excessively in order to lose an extreme amount of weight.
The university‘s Speakers Committee, a student-run organization, was sponsoring Sigler‘s talk.
Ticketholders can get a refund of the $10 ticket price at Sarratt Box Office on ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ‘s campus or at any Ticketmaster outlet.
