As one of the original 12 girls on the "Facts of Life", Andrea practically grew up in front of America's eyes. After guest spots on "Family Matters", "What's Happenin' Now" and "Small Wonder", adult roles became few and far between.

Andrea didn't follow her fellow former child stars into drugs and shoplifting. She instead concentrated on promiscuity. While working at a bottomless bar in Atco, NJ, Andrea answered an ad in "Swank" magazine and unknowingly showed up at a Polywumpus audition. The rest, as they say, is history. When not entertaining or reminiscing about the Golden Age of sitcoms, this Italian mother of five does volunteer work with the Salvation Army Reserve.

Andrea would like to thank her husband, family and all her fans for their support. She's already thanked each member of Polywumpus personally…several times.
