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.
