Mamma was a singer in her cousins Night Clubs when
                               she was young. 
                               She met Louis during that time. She gave up singing because 
                               she  was scared of the mobsters that always hung around in them, and they
                               were always after her.

                               She also went to the same school with Rose Marie
                               I always thought how mom could have been a
                               great star if she hadn't given up her career.
