D'Andrea Bryant was named Andrea Delores Bryant by her loving parents. She was born on December 3, 1954 and passed on December 20, 2008 in the San Fernando Valley, California. She was perhaps best known as an actress and model appearing in the cult-classic motion picture Nothing But Trouble starring and directed by Dan Aykroyd and Playboy: Sexy Lingerie II respectively--considered by many to be the best in the video series. It was during the shooting of Nothing But Trouble that she developed an artist-kindred-spirit friendship with fellow poet Tupac Shakur who was a member of the Hip Hop group Digital Underground at the time. D'Andrea also briefly appeared in the films Marked for Death, Another 48 Hours, Flatliners, and Street Wars--Jamaa Fanaka's final film. For the ABC-TV comedy series New Attitude, D'Andrea was cast as the girlfriend of Lamar, the character played by series regular--and popular recording artist--Morris Day. In the music video for Big Daddy Kane's "I Can Do It Right," D'Andrea was featured in the Jacuzzi scene with Kane which also featured PLAYERS Magazine model and noted porn star Heather Hunter. D'Andrea can also be seen in the successful direct-to-video series, specifically, the Sugar Hill: Retribution installment. D'Andrea's always kept busy as a print model frequently being showcased within the pages of Playboy Lingerie, PLAYERS Magazine, Pictorial and doing print work as a member of the models roster at the Irena Kamal Modeling Agency along with her friend and former Playboy model Pamela Anderson. D'Andrea's writing ability held her in good stead. She wrote a monthly Numerology Column for PLAYERS Magazine and was a talented poet and songwriter. She wrote music and recorded her lyrics and had planned on releasing an album of her touching, powerful and timely music. Her writing talent also lent itself to film and television. D'Andrea wrote a treatment for a stand-alone feature film that eventually evolved into a feature-length, pilot script for a dramatic television series. That effort was inspired by her meeting with Steven Seagal who hired her for Marked for Death.
