Her iconic beauty and image endure today.
After several film roles in the 1990s, Phoebe Cates vanished from sight in the entertainment industry.
What is her life like today?
You’ll be amazed at what she’s been up to.
Her dream was to turn professional, and she attended classes at the prestigious Julliard school.
When an injury sidelined her career, Phoebe returned to modeling.
Phoebe was quickly noticed by producers who were interested in making her a teenage movie star.
Her first film was “Paradise” alongside “Eight is Enough” star, Willie Aames.
A slave agent known as the Jackal wanted to add Sarah to his harem.
Sarah and David escaped, and all the others in their group were killed.
The teens ended up in a paradise-like area where they discovered love and sex (perIMDb).
They were serious and more difficult because they were not easily justified.
But the topless scene in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” was funny, which made it easy.
In this business, if a girl wants a career, she has to be willing to strip.
If you’ve got a good bod, then why not show it?"
She’s too enthusiastic about life.
What’ll we talk about?"
The couple’s 16-year age difference was not the only difference between them.
Phoebe dropped out of high school to model and found her success in teen films.
By the time they settled into domesticity, married in 1989, Phoebe was rounding out her movie career.
“Everyone said, ‘why would you want to do that?
Retail is terrible’ I dreamed it.
I kept a dream journal where we would joke about it.
I knew that acting wasn’t an option for me.
I wasn’t driven to do it again,” Phoebe shared of her career shift.
Jokingly adding “No one was supportive, especially my husband.”
