Andrea Marcovicci

Andrea Louisa Marcovicci is an American actress and singer.

Life and career Marcovicci was born in Manhattan In her teens she decided that she wanted to be a singer, but instead majored in drama. In a 1972 interview, she looked back at this period without enthusiasm: I found that people interested in theater were very serious and heavy. It was a very inbred group. I could not be a part of that. So, if I was going to be an actress, I would have to sing my way into it. I guess what I didn't like about theater on the academic level was the feeling of always being defeated. How could any 18-year-old girl be expected to play Amanda in The Glass Menagerie? You just couldn't be successful at what you were doing. And although I might not have then been able to articulate this, I must have sensed it at the time. She was nominated for a Golden Globe award for the New Star of the Year in 1977 for the film, The Front (1976). She had a recurring role on Hill Street Blues.

Awards She is the recipient of several awards and honors including the Mabel Mercer Foundation's 2007 Mabel Award and three Lifetime Achievement Awards—honored by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs, The Licia Albanese-Puccini Foundation, and by a Bob Harrington Backstage Bistro Award. In recognition of her accomplishments in the arts, Andrea has received honorary degrees from Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut and from the Memphis College of Art. In addition, "The Andrea Marcovicci Suite" at the Algonquin Hotel, dedicated in 2006 on her twentieth anniversary at the Oak Room, contains memorabilia of her work in theatre, film, television, and on the concert stage.

Personal life She married actor Daniel Reichert in 1993. The couple separated in 2004 and later divorced. They have a daughter, Alice Wolfe Reichert.
