Drea de Matteo The Sopranos
In The Sopranos, she played Adriana La Cerva, Tony Soprano’s protégé Christopher Moltisanti’s long-term girlfriend and later ex-fiancée. In the pilot episode, she also played an unnamed hostess. Adriana Aprile was a mobster’s dream girl, having grown up in a family of wise guys. She was initially portrayed as shallow and materialistic, only interested in things that Christopher’s money could buy, such as expensive cars, shoes, jewelry, drugs, designer clothing, and furs. However, as the couple grew closer, she always seemed to have Christopher’s (as well as her own) best interests in mind. When Christopher bought a failing Long Branch nightclub to pay off a gambling debt, he delegated management to Adriana.
Adriana was targeted by the FBI as a potential weakness in the family’s organization. Nobody knows what happened to her; Carmela believes she moved away after her breakup with Christopher. Adriana appeared in Carmela’s dream in the sixth season premiere, “Members Only,” on March 12, 2006. There was some speculation that Adriana had not been killed; instead, the show’s frequent use of dream imagery allowed for her return. In the Season 6 episode “The Ride,” Carmela runs into Adrie’s mother, Liz La Cerva, who is depressed and looks unkempt. Carmela is informed by the mother that she believes Christopher murdered her daughter.
