Career Lows: She appeared in Riding the Bus with My Sister, a 2005 TV movie that redefined the term “unintentional humor.”
“Work”: Andie has said she doesn’t believe in plastic surgery, and rightfully says of aging, “You’re pre-programmed to believe that a man can have wrinkles and he’s sexy and a woman has wrinkles and she’s old…I do this nonstop. I have to defend myself and all women that are [over 40) and say: ‘Yes, we’re still beautiful.’”
