Andrea Elson | Yoga Instructor

Andrea Elson, who played Lynn Tanner, Kate and Willie’s teenage daughter, was cast in ALF at an especially trying time in her life. Elson admitted in a People interview from 2000 that growing up as a young woman in front of a sitcom audience was difficult. She also suggested that the cast’s overall attitude contributed to the tense atmosphere.

However, as daunting as the journey was, it was undeniably rewarding. Elson was “so smitten” with the young production assistant Scott Hopper who delivered her scripts while working on ALF. As it turns out, Hopper felt the same way and the two married in 1993. Her most recent acting appearance was in an episode of the sitcom Men Behaving Badly from 1997. Since then, Elson has grown a passion for teaching and practicing yoga. She earned her certification in 2009 and gave herself credit as a “world-traveling yoga instructor.” In Arroyo Grande, California, she is the owner and operator of Yoga Village.
