Biography
Angela lived with her husband, Frank, and their son in Long Island. When she first met her husband, she found him exciting, but over the years after they got married, she was starting to feel guilt about the things they owned. It all fell off of trucks which they robbed and the money they pay for their lovely home was blood money. When Angela argued this point to her husband, he wouldn't hear of it. After which, he left her to go to a meeting that his boss, Tony "The Tiger" Russo called.

The next morning, she received a call that her husband was killed, half naked in a bath tub with his mistress, Karen Lutnick. What she didn't know, and what the FBI suspects is that he was killed by Tony "The Tiger" since Tony also was the mistress of Tony as well in a jealous rage. At Frank's funeral, Tony would try to flirt with her and when so far as to even kiss Angela, after which she told him to "Keep his hands off her." A short time later when she was shopping in a Supermarket, Connie Russo, Tony's wife, with a few of her friends who were all wives of gangsters like Angela and Connie, confronted Angela.

Between Tony harassing her and Connie's unwarranted hostile jealousy, and her husband's recent death, she donated all their things to charity and moved to New York with her son. However, she was being followed by not only Tony, but also by an FBI agents Michael Downey and his partner, Edward Benitez. Angela would then go look for a job. She tried to get a job at a place where they served fast food chicken, but the manager was watching her though a peeping hole in her office after he told her she could change in there. After she caught the pervert, she stormed out of the restaurant and after he demanded she returned the work uniform she was wearing, she splashed a milkshake in his face and told him to "drop dead dirt bag!" which she was heavily applauded for. She would eventually get a job at a local hair salon. Also Agent Downey would introduce himself to her as Mike Smith. Mike would ingratiate himself into her life and they begun to date.

They told her that Tony was the man who killed her husband and that she's a suspect in being his accomplice. They threatened to put her in jail, deport her boss, and put her son in a foster home, unless she helps them, much to the chagrin of Agent Downey.

She would later on in a sting operation, join Tony, posing as his mistress, to Miami where he was to meet with various crime bosses to settle a rivalry. Angela gave Tony a bugged ring. However Tony saw Mike a few times in his life under various aliases when he was watching Tony and he suspected that she was an FBI plant. As he and his men where gonna kill Angela and Agent Downey, Connie busts in and punches out Angela before she threatens Tony as a fire fight broke out between Downey and Tony's men. Angela would get up and punch Connie out. Tony and Connie would both be arrested.

Shortly later, Angela would at her job get a visit from Agent Downey. He asked to listen to her and that he fell in love with her. After she chewed him out as she was roughly washing his hair, she told him that she would give him a second chance. She kissed him and it could be assumed that they dated regularly sometime after.
