Phoebe Cates Biography |
|||||||||||||
| Phoebe Cates is an American film actress who, by her own description, has retired from acting to be a full-time mother. She achieved icon status in the early 1980s for her role in the teen comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High, in which she stripped off her bikini top in a slow-motion fantasy sequence. Because Fast Times became an early-80's cult classic, this is the event for which she is most often remembered. Harper's Bazaar magazine, in 1984, included her in their list of America's 10 Most Beautiful Women. That same year, in the romance film Paradise, and in contrast to the coyness of Brooke Shields in the similarly themed and more popular The Blue Lagoon, Cates appeared nude, although she was said to have used a body double in some of the close-ups. In a People magazine article, Cates said she had expressed reservations about this situation to her father, who advised her to play it in whatever way she felt was artistically honest. In 1985 Cates appeared Off-Broadway in Rich Relations by David Henry Hwang at Second Stage Theatre. In 1989, she married actor Kevin Kline, whom she had originally met while auditioning for the part that Meg Tilly ultimately won in The Big Chill. In 1991, she was slated to be in Father of the Bride, but dropped out due to pregnancy. In 1996, she narrated the award-winning documentary short, The Flame, a film about the nonprofit world hunger organization Heifer International. | |||||||||||||
