She was born Andrea Brett Morrison in 1945 to a British Jewish family in London, the daughter of Hyam and Doris Morrison. Her father led the United Joint Israel Appeal, and her mother founded the British Friends of the Museums of Israel.
She moved to Canada as a young bride with her first husband, David Cohen, (the grandson of Lyon Cohen, a prominent businessman, philanthropist, and founder of the Canadian Jewish Congress and the "Jewish Times", the first Canadian Jewish newspaper).

The Andrea M. Bronfman Prize for the Arts is given annually in her honour.
