She is the twin sister of fellow soap actress Deidre Hall. She is best known for her role as Samantha Evans on Days of Our Lives, which she played from 1977 to 1982. On the show, she played the twin sister of Deidre Hall's character, Marlena Evans.
After a long hiatus from the genre, Andrea Hall returned to Days in 2000 and 2001, playing Marlena-lookalike Hattie Adams.
Hall and Magnant were ultimately convicted of possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute and distributing cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. The evidence at trial was that co-defendant Sam Sarcinelli headed a large drug distribution operation, obtaining cocaine in Florida and distributing it in California, Chicago, and New York.
Hall now argues that it was incumbent upon the government to alert the trial court and/or defense counsel that it was in possession of the affidavit.
On appeal, Hall contends that the court's refusal to permit her to cross-examine the police officer was equivalent to a refusal to permit impeachment testimony on Caskey's prior convictions.
