I didnt know which way was up.
OnlyFans saved my life, 100 percent, she told the paper.
I cant believe Im saying that, but it really did save us.
De Matteo played Adriana the first five seasons ofThe Sopranos.
After Adriana became an informant for the FBI, Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) ordered her killed.
She won an Emmy for the role in 2004.
AfterThe Sopranos, de Matteo appeared on shows such asDesperate HousewivesandSons of Anarchy, among others.
But that did not free her financially for the rest of her life, the actress revealed.
People think Im f*cking made of gold, and Im not she said last year.
Ive worked job to job.
As for judgments others may have about her work on OnlyFans, De Matteo is pragmatic.
I just dont care.
Id rather save my family than save face.
