The actress’s performance as Tina earned her a nomination for a Daytime Emmy.
The world was in mourning after Andrea Evans, one of the biggest stars of daytime television, passed away at age 66.
The renowned actress passed away on Sunday from cancer, according to Don Carroll, her longtime manager. Nick Leicht, her manager at the time, expressed his sorrow over her passing.
“I’ve been working with Andrea for the past seven years. She was such a great talent, and working with her was such a pleasure, he said. “.
The disturbed adolescent Tina Lord on One Life to Live and later Patty Williams on The Young and the Restless made Andrea, a well-known daytime actress, famous.
She was nominated for an Outstanding Ingenue in a Drama Series Daytime Emmy in 1988 for her performance as Tina.
The late star was honored on Twitter by Frank Valentini, the current and former executive producers of General Hospital and One Life to Live, respectively.
Andrea Evans’ passing has left me deeply saddened, he wrote. He continued, “Andrea had already become a big star when I joined OLTL.
It was a pleasure to work with her because she was always polite and kind. A beloved icon of the midday. My sympathies to her friends and family. “.
For her performance as Vivian Price in the web series DeVanity, Andrea was nominated for another Daytime Emmy in 2015 for Outstanding Performer in a New Approaches Drama Series.
Rebecca Hotchkiss on Passions and Patty Walker on The Bay are just two of Andrea’s notable non-daytime drama television appearances.
She also made guest appearances in movies and TV shows like Hit List, Ice Cream Man, and A Low Down Dirty Shame. In the 1990s, Andrea left One Life to Live to take a break from acting, but she went unnoticed for a long time.
She admitted to the publication in 2008 that she withdrew from the spotlight as a result of a terrifying encounter with a stalker. She admitted, “It’s changed me forever.”.
“It cannot possibly not.
“.
On One Life to Live that same year, the well-liked actress returned to the role of Tina.
Her return to her hometown was eagerly anticipated; Executive Producer Valentini told TV Guide in 2008 that her fans had been waiting for her for a long time.
Even though Andrea hasn’t appeared on OLTL since 1990, he claimed that she is still one of the most frequently requested characters to do so.
“I’m happy to see her return to OLTL and the part where she first made an impact on our audience. “.
Kylie, their daughter, and Andrea’s husband, Stephen Rodriguez, whom she married in 1998, survive her. She wed Wayne Massey, a co-star on One Life to Live, between 1981 and 1983.
