Angela Darmody Of Boardwalk Empire
Angela Darmody (played by Aleksa Palladino), is Jimmy Darmody's wife, and the mother of his son, Tommy.
Angela became Jimmy's common-law wife some time before he went off to war, and found out she was pregnant with their son, Tommy, just before he left home. She raised Tommy by herself for 3 years, all the while dreaming of becoming a famous painter. When her husband returned from the war, she was gave up on her dream in order to play the role of housewife and mother.
Angela makes breakfast for her son, Tommy, and common law husband, Jimmy. Jimmy is annoyed by a news story about boxer Jack Dempsey and his reasons for avoiding the draft. Jimmy doubts Dempsey's claims and believes he avoided the draft because he had too much opportunity at home. Angela gives Jimmy a pointed look and he tells her that his acceptance to Princeton was not the same. She urges him to go back to college but he does not think he has the time. She offers to work and he asks what she would do, mentioning that her painting hobby would not provide much income. She asks Jimmy about working with Paddy Ryan and Jimmy is dismissive of the opportunity. He plans to talk to Nucky Thompson about another job but worries about his lack of skills on leaving the military.
Jimmy is unsuccesful in approaching Nucky and decides to make his own opportunity - planning to hijack a load of alcohol that Nucky has sold to New York crime boss Arnold Rothstein and sell it to the Chicago outfit. He does not tell Angela about his plan.
The next day Jimmy takes Angela and Tommy to watch a silent comedy at the cinema. As they walk along the boardwalk afterwards Tommy runs into Dittrich's photography but Angela pulls him out. They are stopped by Agents Eric Sebso and Nelson Van Alden who ask Jimmy to accompany them to their office. Jimmy sends Angela home and goes with the agents. He does not return home after the meeting.
Sheriff Eli Thompson comes to Angela’s apartment and she tells him that Jimmy has been out all night and she assumed he was working for Nucky. Angela is concerned and asks Eli if it could be related to Jimmy being picked up by Van Alden.
Having carried out the hijacking and murdered several of Rothstein's men Jimmy comes home safely and plays with his family.
