Phoebe Cates

For many of us growing up, Phoebe Cates has always been one of the favorites. The model-turned-actress rose to prominence during her films like Paradise, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Private School. It was her role in the movie 1984 Gremlins, however, that thrust the actress further into a higher level of renown. Cates got married to actor Kevin Kline in 1989 and had their first child together two years after. Over time, the actress took a break from the spotlight to focus more on her personal life.

She made a comeback on the big screen in the 2001 independent movie, The Anniversary Party. Eventually, the fan-favorite star reprised her role as Kate Beringer when she dubbed the character for the video game Lego Dimensions. Ever since she left Hollywood’s glam, Cates focused more on her investment, an upscale boutique called Blue Tree. Don’t fret, though! Her timeless beauty is still seen gracing the red carpet now and then.
