She was a successful model in Melbourne modelling for noted photographers such as Helmut Newton and Athol Smith. She was encouraged to work in radio after being spotted at a dinner party when outspoken women were still a rarity in Adelaide at that time. She was offered a morning chat program at Adelaide"s 5DN with Lionel Williams.
In 1966 she moved to 5AD she was initially paired with Rob Lynch although after a couple of seasons she was paired with the conservative Bob Francis.
Despite a frosty start the pair came to work very well on air with a fiery "odd couple" relationship that was a ratings hit for almost a decade. Andy left 5AD in 1976 and took a break from radio that involved extensive travels in India and a flight in a cropduster from Adelaide to London.
Returning to Australia she worked in Melbourne for 3DB and 3RRR and in Sydney with 2SM as well as with American Broadcasting Company Radio in Adelaide.
