Breakthroughs With Jordan Murphy

The hit series "Desperate Housewives" was a lightening rod for the typical tabloid BS of cat fights and disharmony on set...media outlets aching to find the story and where there wasn't one make it up. My guest spent her formative teenage years playing Julie Mayer, daughter to Teri Hatcher, on the show for 7 seasons.  We discussed many things including how her experience with the cast of women on the show positively shaped her and about how life on the set was refreshingly different from what was usually reported. Andrea Bowen began acting at age 6 as "Young Cosette" in the Broadway production of "Les Miserables". She had continued success on Broadway and soon found herself as a regular on "Desperate Housewives". Andrea shared about the experience of being a child actor and the sometimes awkward transitions from child to teen and ultimately young adult actor in the often unforgiving entertainment industry and how she has successfully managed to stay healthy and sane.
