Green grew up in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. She attended Pascack Hills High School in Montvale, New Jersey, and later enrolled at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
In 1984 she started to attend movie auditions, and was soon discovered by legendary director Steven Spielberg, who cast her in the 1985 Richard Donner adventure movie “The Goonies”, one of the most popular films of that year. Green played the character of Andrea ‘Andy’ Carmichael, a cheerleader-turned-adventurer, the role which enabled her to reach a high level of recognition and which considerably added to her net worth. The same year she landed the role of Jennifer Chester, one of John Candy’s three children, in the comedy film “Summer Rental”.
Opportunities continued to come her way, and the following year saw Green in the teen tragi-comedy film “Lucas”, playing a teenager named Maggie, the title character’s love interest. Her performance earned her critical acclaim, greatly contributing to her popularity in the acting world and to her wealth as well.
Her next film, the 1987 “Three for the Road” did not see much success, but Green landed some television gigs, appearing in an episode of “Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color” and later in “ABC Afterschool Special”. In 1990 she appeared as John Diehl’s daughter, Karen Sevrance in an episode of the popular drama series “In the Heat of the Night”, and remained active on television to the end of the decade, playing Kate Granum in the TV film “The Burden of Proof” and Tori Pattersen in another made-for-television film, “Tainted Blood”, plus appearing in the recurring role of Stacey in the NBC sitcom “Mad About You”, the series “Café Americain”, and in “Murder, She Wrote”. As for the big screen, she starred as Rain in the science fiction film “Blue Fame”. All added to her net worth.
In 1999 Green co-founded a film production company called Independent Women Artists. Shortly after, she co-wrote and directed the film “Bellyfruit”, an adaptation of the same-titled stage play, portraying teen pregnancy.
As for acting, Kerri hasn’t been so active on either the big or small screen since the late ‘90s; aside from guest appearances in the series “ER” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” in the early years of the 2000s, and appearing in the 2010 indie drama “Complacent”, she has remained out of spotlight.
When it comes to her personal life, Green has been married since the ’90s. Along with her husband and children, she resides in Nyack, New York. Other details regarding her private life are unknown to media.
