Just like Adriana

There are some actors who, when you see them in a candid magazine shot, look nothing like their television alter egos. America Ferrera is probably the most obvious example of this, but The Sopranos has given us some good examples as well, notably Edie Falco as Carmela Soprano and Steve van Zandt as Silvio Dante.

I always assumed Drea de Matteo, who played Adriana La Cerva (the fiancee of Christopher Moltisanti) on The Sopranos would be like her co-stars. After all, Adriana's hair was huge, her make-up was overdone and her clothing was sparse. And yet de Matteo just announced her pregnancy, and all the photos of her that I have seen look like she is still playing Adriana. Okay, maybe the cleavage isn't as exposed, but it's the same general look. Kind of like if Adriana had escaped and went into the Witness Protection Program and was found pumping gas at some station on New Mexico. I mean, what's with the fur tail by her elbow? It looks like she just picked up some roadkill and decided it would be a great makeshift purse.

Maybe it's her way of making sure that Adriana will never truly die.
