Andrea Bowen (Julie Mayer) Bowen began her
life as a professional performer on Broadway in New York at the age of 6,
playing Young Cosette in "Les Misérables," the youngest Cosette in the show's
16-year run. She went on to originate the role of Marta Von Trapp in the
Broadway ... morerevival of "The Sound of Music" with Richard Chamberlain, and the role
of Adele in the Broadway musical "Jane Eyre." While performing on Broadway, she
also began to guest star on such New York-based TV shows as "Law & Order"
and "Third Watch," and in the films "New York Crossing" and "Highball." Prior to
being cast in "Desperate Housewives," Andrea played the role of Zooey Glass in
the ABC primetime series, "That Was Then." She also played 12-year-old genius
Riley Ellis in a recurring role on Fox's "Boston Public," and has had numerous
guest star appearances on other shows in a wide variety of roles, ranging from
an altruistic cystic fibrosis patient on "Strong Medicine" to an ill-tempered
and foul-mouthed foster child on "One Tree Hill," from the bratty child of a
sports star on "Arli$$" to a shy, suicidal teenager on "Nip/Tuck." Andrea has
also found success as a voiceover artist in projects including the film "The Ice
Age" and two recently completed animated pilots for the Cartoon Network, "Party
Wagon" and "Ben-10." As a recording artist, she can be heard on the
original-cast albums of "Jane Eyre, the Musical" and "The Sound of Music," "'98
Broadway Revival," as well as "Night of the Hunter," "Z, the Masked Musical,"
