I had the extreme pleasure of knowing Andrea while doing comedy improv for several years at the Harvey Lembeck Comedy Workshop in Beverly Hills. She exuded sweetness 24/7. She was a talented actress and a treasure as a friend. She will be dearly missed.

Andrea had a smile that could light up a room like a hundred stage lights. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever meant. She was an absolute darling and is missed by all who knew her. The world is a lesser place without her here among us.

I was just watching some boxing fights on television coming out of the MGM Hotel. It made me think of Andrea - when I just happened to be at the MGM and discovered that Andrea was starring there in Grease. It was a joy to see her performance and to meet with her after the show to chat. Andrea and I went to the same dance studio in Loves Park, IL -- and she was my absolute idol. She was a few years older but always made me feel special. We stayed in touch for awhile, even being invited to her first wedding. I did go on with a life in performing arts and as a p.a. educator; and coincidentally retired in MO. Anyway, I am so very sad to learn that Andrea has passed. I send my sympathy to Andrea's family. May my condolences provide yet another confirmation of the joy-and-love legacy that Andrea left here on earth.

Just happened to be watching an episode of Roseanne and decided to find out more info online about her. I had no idea she passed away and I'm so sorry to hear that. My condolences go out to her family. She really did have a sweet smile. She must have been that way in real life too.

I met Andrea while living in Los Angeles, when she and I were both with the Harvey Lembeck Comedy Workshop. She always had the brightest, sweetest smile and an infectiously positive attitude. She will be missed.

I danced in the chorus line with Andy in "Funny Girl" as well as many, other musicals directed by Ted Bacino and his "crew" in hometown Rockford, Illinois. Andy was a good, Catholic girl and the sweetest girl in show business that I've ever known. Her calm and serene demure will be missed. Sincerely, Dru Cagnoni
