Sad news for the soap opera world today. Andrea Evans, known for starring in One Life to Live, Passions and The Young and the Restless, has died. She was 66 years old.
The actress is said to have died of breast cancer. Her death was confirmed by her former and current managers. Her current manager Nick Leicht told PEOPLE: “I’ve been working with Andrea for the past 7 years. She was such a tremendous talent and an absolute joy to work with.”
