Career Highlights
Here is a short summary of Phoebe Cates' career:
After becoming dissatisfied with modeling, Cates decided to try acting, and she made her film debut in 1982’s “Paradise.” Though she was initially uncertain about the job because it required nudity, her father encouraged her to do the movie, telling her, “What are you going to do, model for the rest of your life? What are you so hung up on nudity for?” Besides starring in the film, Phoebe also sang the theme song and recorded an album entitled “Paradise.” Cates alleged that producers of the movie filmed naked close-ups of her character using a body double without her permission, and she refused to do any promotion for the movie. Her second film was 1982’s “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” in which she was responsible for what “Rolling Stone” magazine described as “the most memorable bikini-drop in cinema history.” In 2005, the Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in its National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” In 1983, Phoebe appeared in the film “Private School” and the TV movie “Baby Sister,” and she performed the songs “How Do I Let You Know” and “Just One Touch” on the “Private School” soundtrack.
Family and Personal Life
Phoebe shared a Greenwich Village apartment with her boyfriend, Stavros Merjos, in the early ’80s. In 1983, while auditioning for a role in “The Big Chill,” Cates met actor Kevin Kline. They were both involved with other people when they first met, but two years later when they were both single again, they began a relationship. Phoebe and Kevin married on March 5, 1989, and they welcomed son Owen on October 14, 1991, and daughter Greta on March 21, 1994.
