She starred alongside a who's who of future Hollywood heavyweights, including "ER" star Anthony Edwards, Sean Penn, Forest Whitaker, Eric Stoltz, and Nicolas Cage. Phoebe spoke of her work in the film for a 1982 interview (per news.com.au) "I was only 17 when I did my nude scenes in "Paradise." 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?" more

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. This film, a knockoff of the popular Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins film "Blue Lagoon," gave Phoebe her first taste of working in film. The film told the story of two teenagers named David and Sarah who traveled with a caravan from Baghdad to Damascus. 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 (per IMDb). [links]

Back in the 1980s, Phoebe Cates was modeling and making a name for herself as Hollywood's "IT" girl. She was the young woman every teen girl wanted to look like, and every teen boy wanted to date. Her exotic look, the product of a Russian-Jewish father, and a mother of Chinese and Russian descent, gave her an allure unlike other young models of the day. During her celebrity heyday, she was featured on the cover of Seventeen magazine four times, Elle twice, the cover of British Vogue, and Andy Warhol's Interview (per IMDb).

The pair have been married since 1989, which makes for an impressively long union in Tinsel Town. Especially considering that they didn’t make a ton of sense on paper: Cates was a model and dancer turned actress, while Kline was a Julliard-trained stage actor. Not only that, but Kline was also 16 years older than Cates. But though the cards were stacked against them, the two hit it off and now have two grown children together, musician Greta (Frankie Cosmos), 23, and actor Owen, 26. more

While anything is possible, fans shouldn’t hold their breath waiting for Phoebe Cates to resurrect her acting career. It appears as though she is perfectly happy with her life as it is. Her husband even admits that while they met because they were both in the acting biz, he was much more focused on hitting it big. “That was one of the many things I loved about her,” he told The Guardian. “She loved acting while she was doing it, but she was not driven [he goes grand, declamatory; cocks an eyebrow] by it, as I had been.”

“That didn’t teach me anything,” Cates said of her brief modeling career in a 1982 interview with People. “It was just the same thing, over and over. After a while I did it solely for the money.”
