Drea de Matteo: The Sopranos Icon Who Bet on Herself
Fans still quote Adriana La Cerva, the role that won Drea de Matteo an Emmy on The Sopranos. These days the Queens native writes her own script.
She has been blunt about why: money trouble, a house at risk, and an industry she says she never really wanted to play along with.
A New Yorker with no filter
She says acting was mostly a way to pay bills, and that leaving Hollywood's routine was easy for her.
