Summary

Known for her role as Adriana on 'The Sopranos,' actress Drea De Matteo is no stranger to being part of something groundbreaking. After watching corruption and corporatism consume the entertainment industry she was once so connected to, she now says she's looking to make history again — but this time, not by being on screen. Drea De Matteo shares how she believes the moral downfall she witnessed in Hollywood directly reflects the corruption she sees in society, and why she's using her platform to fight for truth, the inspiration behind her new clothing brand, Ultrafree, and the rebuilding of the "American Dream".
