People magazine published a retrospective of her career back in the year 2000. She said that growing up in the spotlight was not an easy task. When she was in New York City in 1969, Elson grew into a world that revolved around travel because her advertising father was a travelling salesman. When she was just ten years old, she lived between New York Chicago San Diego as well as Los Angeles. Andrea had her first successful audition San Diego after she got an agent. Fusco supported the show's premise, by saying "ALF is two hundred and eighty-five years old. He has the ability to drink beer, he's enough. In the years when ALF became becoming more famous, NBC said that Fusco could no longer have ALF drinking alcohol with the kids. This was a negative role of a model. Fusco, who believed ALF was mature enough to drive drunk, was mistaken. The year 1995 was the year he was diagnosed with lymphoma. It was treated successfully and his cancer was in remission until the year 2019. The 26th of June, 2019 aged 75, he passed away from cancer at the Lillian Booth Actors Home located in Englewood in New Jersey.
