Andrea Corr

Andrea Jane Corr (born May 17, 1974) is the lead singer for the Irish folk-rock band The Corrs. She also plays the tin whistle.

She was born in Dundalk, Ireland, the youngest daughter of Jean and Gerry Corr, two musicians. She and her elder siblings, sisters Caroline (b. 1973) and Sharon Corr (b. 1970) and brother Jim (b. 1964), formed The Corrs to audition for the 1991 film The Commitments. Andrea was the only one of the four to be given a speaking part. But several years later, in another fleeting appearance in a major film, she was wanted strictly for a singing role - it was the musical "Evita".

In 2002, an opportunity for Andrea to branch into a more extensive acting career appeared to open up, as she was strongly rumoured to have been offered the role of Lara in a fresh British production of Boris Pasternak's classic novel Doctor Zhivago. The character was however ultimately played by the then little-known Keira Knightley. Andrea is thought to have turned down the part because it required her to appear nude in several scenes.
