Bates Motel's Vera Farmiga once again tackles the role of a famously crazed mom as she takes over the role of the villainous Livia Soprano - a role played by Nancy Marchand on The Sopranos. “We certainly wanted to get people that we thought would work as younger versions of the [characters] as represented in the show,” says Taylor. “The tricky part...
