Biography

In her younger years, Lorraine went to school with her second cousin Carmine Lupertazzi Jr, with whom she was very close with. They also had a sexual relationship at some point, though they had presumably stopped their relationship by 2004.

Through her relationship with the Lupertazzi family, she was able to operate a loansharking or "shylock" business and became an associate of the family. She would provide a loan, that a person would have to pay back a percentage of, with high interest, each week. Her partners in the business were the "muscle" and often her lovers at the time, as was the case with Jason Evanina. She would then kick up some of the money back to the Lupertazzi family. Previously she made weekly payments to Carmine Lupertazzi, but after his death via stroke, Johnny Sack and Carmine Jr. engaged in a war for the position of boss. Lorraine showed her support for Carmine Jr. by paying her earnings to him instead of Johnny, which angered Johnny greatly.

Johnny then sent Phil Leotardo (fresh out of prison) to perform a mock execution on her while she was collecting from a bar. Phil was accompanied by his brother Billy and associate Joey Peeps. This attempt to intimidate her into kicking up her payments to Johnny ultimately failed as she still kicked up her money to Carmine Jr . As a result, Phil sent Joey and Billy to murder her. They killed both Lorraine and Jason at her home.

Her death devastated Carmine Jr., and it sparked Angelo Garepe and Rusty Millio to hire Tony Blundetto to kill Joey Peeps in retaliation.

Trivia

• Lorraine was one of the rare cases of a mafiosa, or female mobster, and the only one of three examples (Annalisa Zucca and Angie Bonpensiero being the other two) to have been killed.
• Christopher Moltisanti shows great reverence when meeting her for the first time. Likely due the her reputation as a skilled loanshark and her being a woman in a field almost entirely dominated by men.
• Johnny Sacrimoni finds it extremely distasteful that Carmine Jr. and her were lovers despite being cousins. This likely added to his dislike for both Carmine Jr. and Lorraine.
• At some point she had a fling with Tony Soprano when they were both young. Johnny Sacrimoni brings it up to Tony after he revealed that Angelo Garepe and Lorraine came to see him and Junior about helping to resolve the issues between Johnny and Carmine Jr.
