Early life

Mascolo was born on March 13, 1929,[2][3] and raised in West Hartford, Connecticut.[4] His parents, Anna Mascolo (née DeTuccio; 1910–2010) and Peter Mascolo (1901–2008), were immigrants from Naples, Italy, and had their 80th wedding anniversary shortly before his father died.[5] Mascolo had one sister, Marie LaVoie.[6] He attended the United States Military Academy after graduating high school.[7] Mascolo attended the University of Miami.[8] To support himself financially, he studied acting under famed acting coach Stella Adler in New York City.[3] He originally was trained in classical music and opera.[3][9]

Television

Mascolo was best known in the recurring role of Stefano DiMera on Days of Our Lives from 1982 to 1985, returning briefly in 1988, again from 1993 to 2001, and making appearances again since 2007 until Stefano's death in 2016, making his final appearance on February 9, 2017, airing 2 months after his death,[23] and won three Soap Opera Digest Awards.[4] He has also played a wide range of roles on many different series including (but not limited to) a Stefano-like villain named Nicholas Van Buren on General Hospital, and Carlos Alvarez on Santa Barbara. Before achieving his fame, he was seen in the earlier soap operas Where the Heart Is and From These Roots. He also made primetime television appearances on All in the Family, The Eddie Capra Mysteries, Lou Grant and The Rockford Files.[24]

Mascolo portrayed Massimo Marone on CBS's The Bold and the Beautiful beginning August 2001.[25] He decided not to renew his contract with the show in July 2006, due to a lack of storyline and decided to return to Days of Our Lives, where his character Stefano DiMera was resurrected after six years.[26]

Mascolo also appeared in The Incredible Hulk in October 1979, as Mr. Arnold in the episode "Brain Child". 10 years later, he would appear again in NBC's The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, as Albert G.

In 2005, Mascolo married his second wife, Patricia Schultz.[28] In January 2016, he told Soap Opera Digest that he had suffered a stroke in the spring of 2015. "During my rehab, I thought this would be a good time for Stefano to leave."[4]

Mascolo died on December 8, 2016, in Santa Clarita, California at 87 after years of battling Alzheimer's disease.[3] He was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills).
