Andrea Evans (born June 18, 1957) is an American actress.
Evans is best known for her portrayal of Tina Clayton Lord on the ABC soap opera, One Life to Live. She played the role from 1978 to 1981 and from 1985 to 1990. Evans was briefly married to costar Wayne Massey (who played Tina's love interest Johnny Drummond) in 1980.
Evans left the show abruptly in 1990 and dropped out of public view for nearly a decade. Years later she revealed that she had left to escape a persistent stalker who had gone as far as breaking into the ABC studios in New York City, intent on killing her. At the time, the stalker incident had been played down heavily in the press. In the story, the character of Tina returned after a short hiatus, with former Playboy Playmate Karen Witter in the role.
Evans finally returned to television in 1999, appearing as Amber Moore's trashy mother Tawny on The Bold and the Beautiful until 2000. She has portrayed Rebecca Hotchkiss Crane on the NBC soap opera, Passions since replacing Maureen McCormick after her ten-episode stint ended in 2000.
Evans also made two feature films during the 1990s, a small part in A Low Down Dirty Shame in 1994 and a major role in Ice Cream Man in 1995.
Evans and her husband, Los Angeles attorney Steve Rodriguez, adopted a daughter, Kylie Lynn, in May 2004.
