Andrea's journey to soap stardom began with small roles in "The Fury" and "The Awakening Land," which garnered the attention of network executives at ABC and led to her being cast as Tina Clayton Lord on "One Life to Live." She left the show after three years, soon landing another contract role, this time as Patty Williams on "The Young and the Restless," but returned to "One Life to Live" in 1985.
After five years on the show, Andrea left because a stalker had become too familiar with her schedule, and took a nearly nine-year break from soaps before taking on the
… More role of Tawny Moore on "The Bold and the Beautiful." She left the role when her contract was up in 2000, and began a recurring role on "Passions" as Rebecca Hotchkiss. Although she has never signed a contract with the show, she continued to appear on a regular basis until the show's demise in the summer of 2008. Upon the show's end, Andrea returned to her most popular role---Tina Roberts on "One Life to Live," but has left the show after only a few months in November 2008.
She was briefly married to fellow actor Wayne Massey from 1981 to 1983. In 1998, Andrea married L.A. Attorney Stephen Rodriguez, and in 2004 she and Steve adopted a daughter they named Kylie Lyn. As a result of her experience with her stalker, Andrea guards her privacy very closely.
