ANDREA EVANS IN STARRING ROLE
IN "HIT LIST" FEATURE FILM
Andrea Evans has been set for a starring role in the upcoming dark comedy independent feature "Hit List." Evans portrays a former beauty queen who left the pageant world behind and became a trophy wife and mother. Her husband is portrayed by John Savage ("Deer Hunter," "Hair," "The Godfather: Part III," "The Onion Field").
In the movie, Evans' daughter, the film's heroine, is played by Shirly Brener ("Righteous Kill," "Blond Ambition," "Employee of the Month").
Andrea's character has her hands full with her family. Her son is seeking a career in rock'n'roll and lives in the basement. Her daughter is quirky with a history of anger issues. Things seem to improve for the daughter when she gets into relationship with an independent contractor played by Joey Lawrence ("American Dreams," "Blossom, " "Gimme A Break"). But later her anger resurfaces when she suspects he may be a killer. Andrea is the peacemaker and the glue that holds the family together.
The OIC Productions feature is produced and directed by Minh Collins with Elmer Ventura also serving as a producer. Script is by Thompson Evans.

ANDREA EVANS HOPES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
IN THE FIGHT TO CURE BREAST CANCER
More than 182,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Help support research and save lives at City of Hope’s 12th annual Walk for Hope to Cure Breast Cancer on Sunday, November 9. Participants will join Walk for Hope celebrity ambassador Andrea Evans, Emmy-nominated star of ABC’s "One Life to Live," along with breast cancer survivors and their families and friends in a 5k walk and leisure walk. Walk for Hope supports breast cancer research, treatment and education programs at City of Hope, a leading cancer research and treatment center.
The walk takes place at the City of Hope campus, 1500 East Duarte Road in Duarte, Calif. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and the 5k and leisure walks begin at 10 a.m. The day will feature food, giveaways, a Survivor Pavilion and much more! To register, donate or volunteer, visit www.walk4hope.org. Online registration closes November 6. Day-of registration is $35 for adults and $25 for children ages 12 and under.
"Research is saving lives every day," said I. Benjamin Paz, M.D., co-director of City of Hope’s Breast Cancer Program. "City of Hope’s scientists and physicians are rapidly accelerating new discoveries into more effective treatments that are shared with medical centers across the country. Funds raised by Walk for Hope participants and sponsors make this lifesaving work possible."
Even if you cannot attend on event day, you can still register and fundraise for a cure as a virtual walker. This year, Hilton HHonors is providing a variety of incentive prizes, including Hilton HHonors bonus points for members and free night stays. The grand prize for the 2008 national top fundraiser and national top fundraising team captain will be a complimentary five-night stay at a participating Hilton Family hotel and airfare for two provided by Delta Air Lines.
Held in cities across the country, Walk for Hope events have raised more than $27 million for breast cancer research, treatment and education programs at City of Hope since its inception more than 13 years ago. This year’s Walk for Hope is nationally sponsored by Hilton HHonors, United Stationers, The Walking Company, Delta Air Lines and Good Housekeeping. The Los Angeles event is locally presented by Albertsons/Sav-on Pharmacy and supported by the Greater Los Angeles New Car Dealers Association, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Vulcan Materials Company, United Healthcare, Hollandia Produce, Beckman Coulter Foundation, Graphic Visions, Performance Nissan, WiiFit, embodi, Dilbeck Charitable Foundation, Unilever and California American Water.

Soap for Hope
Andrea Evans has teamed up with LATHER to create Sandalwood Rose Soap, an all-natural, olive oil-based soap and a Soap for Hope Gift Set, which includes two bars of Sandalwood Rose soap and a natural wood soap dish. $5 from the sale of each Sandalwood Rose Soap and $12 from the sale of each Soap for Hope Gift Set will benefit the breast cancer programs at City of Hope, a leading biomedical research and treatment institution for cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Evans will again serve as Celebrity Ambassador for City of Hope's annual Walk for Hope to Cure Breast Cancer events held in cities across the country. Evans, whose mother is a breast cancer survivor, will join survivors across the country, and their friends and families, to take steps to support breast cancer research, treatment and education programs at City of Hope's annual Walk for Hope to Cure Breast Cancer.
This will mark the eighth consecutive year that Evans has dedicated her time and efforts to the Walk for Hope and other related City of Hope activities.
"I am proud to once again be representing City of Hope's Walk for Hope in 2008 to continue my support of City of Hope," said Evans. "As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, this cause is near and dear to my heart. I have seen firsthand what it takes to survive this disease and, if in the process of walking, we can save even one life, it is more than worth the effort."
LATHER develops products that draw on natural ingredients and are free of synthetic colors and fragrances. Ever aware of her large, loyal fan base, Andrea specifically wanted to create a soap that would be gentle enough for sensitive skin, and favored sensual sandalwood oil - possibly evocative of the salacious characters she has played on several daytime drama series.
"We are extremely proud to be partnering with City of Hope, which is such an inspirational and well respected organization, as well as Andrea Evans, who inspires millions of people every day," explains Emilie Hoyt, President and Founder of LATHER. "Both share in LATHER's mission to help others lead a more radiant life."
Sandalwood Rose Soap retails for $8 while the Soap for Hope Gift Set, which includes two bars of Sandalwood Rose soap and a natural wood soap dish, costs $20. Both will be available for purchase beginning in September 2008.
