The actress’s performance as Tina earned her a nomination for a Daytime Emmy.
The world was in mourning after Andrea Evans, one of daytime television’s biggest stars, passed away at age 66.
The well-known actress passed away on Sunday from cancer, according to Don Carroll, her longtime manager. Nick Leicht, who was managing her at the time of her passing, expressed his sorrow.
For the past seven years, I’ve worked with Andrea. He remarked, “She was such a tremendous talent and a complete joy to work with. ”.
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.
A tribute to the late star was posted on Twitter by Frank Valentini, who was formerly the executive producer of One Life to Live and is currently the EP of General Hospital.
Andrea Evans’ passing has left me deeply saddened, he wrote. He continued, “Andrea had already become a big star when I joined OLTL.
She was a pleasure to work with and always gracious and kind. A midday icon who will be sorely missed. I send my sympathies to her family and friends. ”.
For her performance as Vivian Price in the web series DeVanity, Andrea was nominated for a second 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. Andrea left One Life to Live in the 1990s to take a break from acting and went years without being noticed.
She revealed to the publication in 2008 that a terrifying encounter with a stalker motivated her to withdraw from the spotlight. She admitted, “I’m changed forever by it. “There is no way that it could not. ”.
On One Life to Live that same year, the well-liked actress returned to the role of Tina.
Executive Producer Valentini told TV Guide in 2008 that fans had been anticipating her return for years, making her return a highly anticipated event.
Andrea hasn’t appeared on OLTL since 1990, but she’s still one of the characters who fans want to see come back, the actor claimed.
“I’m happy to see her return to OLTL and the part where she first made an impact on our audience. ”.
She is survived by Kylie, her daughter, and her husband Stephen Rodriguez, whom she married in 1998. Her One Life to Live co-star Wayne Massey was her husband between 1981 and 1983.
