#13: Gabrielle Carteris as Andrea Zuckerman
Gabrielle Carteris played Andrea Zuckerman, the brainy editor of the school paper who cared more about grades and justice than designer clothes. Andrea wasn’t the typical Beverly Hills teen — and that’s what made her so special. She represented every viewer who didn’t quite fit in but still had big dreams and a strong voice.

Carteris gave Andrea heart and conviction. Beneath her ambition was someone full of warmth and self-doubt, trying to balance intellect and emotion. Andrea’s storylines — from young love to early motherhood — tackled real issues with sincerity, setting her apart from the show’s glitzier drama.
