    Andrea is hot! Not just with her looks, but also her acting... hide show

    Any Desperate Housewives fan could tell you right off the bat who this individual is. She plays Julie, the daughter of crazy woman Susan. Helping Susan out with all her problems, being the shoulder to cry on, Andrea does it all. She even gets her own little romance storyline. Also, in some episodes, she gets the chance to sing. This is definitely something I personally hope she pursues. After Desperate Housewives ends hopefully somtime in the very distant future, I believe Andrea can go on to do many other great things and have many other excellent and exciting acting jobs where her beauty and talent can show even more. We expect to see great things from her.
