Jamie Lynn Sigler took her husbands name "DiScala" · Jan 2, 06:30 AM by Soprano Man
Proclaiming herself to be a stickler for tradition, she took her husband’s family name, DiScala in July 2003 when she married him. A.D. DiScala was her agent. In 2005, however, the two decided to separate after two years of marriage; eventually Jamie-Lynn went back to being Jamie Lynn Sigler. Jamie-Lynn Sigler then took on the role of Hollywood Madam in the movie made for TV “Call Me: The Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss” in 2004. That year, she also landed her first starring role in “Extreme Dating”, an independently-produced film.
Fans of Jamie-Lynn Sigler might be interested to know that while doing “The Sopranos” in the initial stages, she suffered from an eating disorder.

She said that it was difficult for the first four months but finally came out with it and took on the spokesperson’s role. Unknown to many, she also suffered from Lyme Disease at age 19 while she was doing “Campfire Stories” in New Jersey and was paralyzed from the waist down.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler is fluent in Spanish, having learned it from her Cuban grandmother.
