Meadow Mariangela Soprano, played by Jamie-Lynn Sigler, is a fictional character on the HBO TV series The Sopranos. She is the daughter of Carmela and Tony Soprano.
Character
Born in September 1982, Meadow is the first-born child of Tony and Carmela Soprano. She attended Columbia University, doing well in her classes after a poor first-year performance and volunteered regularly at the South Bronx Law Center. Her academic skills are, in part, the result of heavily coached instruction and parental pressure. She can be overbearingly pious and ironic when she lectures her father on concepts such as racism and class war. Since her graduation, Meadow has been studying for medical school as she is interested in being a pediatrician, but is having second thoughts and considering a career in the legal profession. Meadow had a string of failed relationships; first with Noah Tannenbaum, a fellow student of mixed race whom Tony disapproved of, who left after having sex with Meadow and when his own father seemed concerned with the Soprano family heritage. This was followed by a romance with Jackie Aprile, Jr., the son of Tony's deceased friend and fellow mobster, Jackie Aprile, Sr.. Jackie Jr. cheated on Meadow and shot a made man during a botched robbery, after which he was executed by Vito Spatafore. Her life seemed further stabilized by her engagement to a Columbia dental student, Finn DeTrolio, of whom her father approved. It was later revealed that Finn and Meadow had broken off the engagement. At the film premiere for Cleaver, Meadow met and started dating Patsy Parisi's son, Patrick. She decides to not apply for medical school and, inspired by Patrick's passion for the law, to apply for law school instead. She begins to plan her wedding to Patrick and, in the series' final scene, she is shown outside the diner where she's late for meeting her family for dinner, making a number of efforts to parallel park before she finally does, and heads toward the diner.
