A young Janice has appeared in flashbacks, played by Madeline Blue and Juliet Fox. 2Background As the oldest child of mobster Johnny Boy Soprano and Livia Soprano in a household financed by crime, Janice grew complacent of her family's criminal ties. For example, "Johnny Boy" took Janice to an amusement park where other mobsters and their daughters were. The mobsters used this as a cover to conduct criminal activities, until they eventually get busted (and Janice witnesses a cop shoot a mobster). Both her brother and uncle recall times when even as a child, Janice had a very callous nature. She also had a rebellious side and as an adult she gets a Rolling Stones tattoo on her breast and is placed on an Unwanted Persons list by Canada, which she was permanently banned from entering. After graduating high school, Janice joined an ashram in Los Angeles, changing her name to "Parvati Wasatch" in 1978. "Parvati" also traveled across Europe and Sri Lanka, married a Québécois, and bore him a son Harpo, worked as a furniture mover, and worked at an espresso bar in Olympia, Washington before finally moving back to New Jersey permanentl
