been offered the role of Lara in a fresh British television production
of Boris Pasternak's classic novel Doctor Zhivago. The character was
however ultimately played by the then little known Keira Knightley. As
the youngest member of the band, Andrea joined directly from school.
She usually performs on stage in her bare feet, since the 1999/2000
Corrs tour, when she decided to perform for the first time without
shoes on. As of March 2006 The Corrs are taking a sabbatical from music
as Jim, Caroline, and Sharon all have families of their own and need
