She's likely to win greater accolades for her emotionally shattering performance in Henry Jaglom's latest movie, Irene in Time (playing Chicago later this year), in which she plays a small but critical role in another intimate film. This time, Marcovicci not only displays the maturity of her acting, but portrays a cabaret singer, a role she's uniquely qualified to inhabit, for she ranks among the best of them.
Marcovicci left school and started making her way into show business as a singer, appearing on The Mike Douglas Show and The Merv Griffin Show.[2] As an actress, she debuted in commercials and first became known in the television soap opera Love is a Many Splendored Thing, as Dr. Betsy Chernak Taylor from 1970–1973. She was nominated for a Golden Globe award for the New Star of the Year in 1977 for the film, The Front (1976).
In 2008, Andrea celebrated her 22nd season at the legendary Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel with Marcovicci Sings Movies II. A very special 60th Birthday concert followed in May 2009 at Town Hall in NYC, celebrating Andrea’s contribution to the American Songbook. To commemorate this event, Andreasong Recordings, Inc. released a compilation CD: As Time Goes By: The Best of Andrea Marcovicci, her 17th album/CD.
She is the recipient of several awards and honors including the Mabel Mercer Foundation’s 2007 Mabel Award and three Lifetime Achievement Awards - honored by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs, the Licia Albanese - Puccini Foundation, and by a Bob Harrington Backstage Bistro Award. In recognition of her accomplishments in the arts, Andrea has received honorary degrees from Trinity College in Hartford, CT and the Memphis College of Art. In addition, “The Andrea Marcovicci Suite” at the Algonquin Hotel, dedicated in 2006 on her twentieth anniversary at the Oak Room, contains memorabilia of her work in theatre, film, television, and on the concert stage.
