New York Cityraised Phoebe is the daughter of former Broadway producer Joseph Cates. As a child, she attended Hewitt School and late the Professional Children’s School and then the Julliard School. Next, she earned a scholarship to the School of American Ballet. However, although she was a good dancer, a leg injury prevented Phoebe from pursuing a career as a ballet dancer, so at the age of 15, she initiated her career as a model, and appeared in several teen magazines such as Seventeen and Elle among others. She became very famous as a model, but was not really happy with her career choice, leading her to start acting.

Cates debuted in the movie “Paradise” when she was only 17 years old. She later became more popular as she worked in the movie “Fast Times At Ridgemont High” in which she played the role of Linda Barrett, alongside several famous actors including Sean Penn, Judge Reinhold, Jennifer Jason Leigh and others. She was also noted for her performance in the movie “Gremlins” in 1984, in which she portrayed the role of Kate Beringer, then in “Gremlins 2” movie in 1990. The comedy horror movies were a hit in the market, making Phoebe along with her co-stars Zach Galligan and Hoyt Axton famous in Hollywood. Until today, she has worked in almost 20 movies and television series. Being a part of these successful projects has obviously added to her riches over the years.

Phoebe left her career as an actress in 1994 to give time for her family. She returned to acting for a short while in 2001, and performed in the movie “The Anniversary Party” and then retired from acting permanently. In 2005, she opened a boutique on New York’s Madison Avenue named “Blue Tree”, and now enjoys life as the owner of this successful outlet.

Regarding her personal life, 52 years old Phoebe now leads a married life. She has been married to Academy award winning actor Kevin Kline since 1989, and is mother to their three children. Her daughter Greta Simone Kline is a famous musician who is better known by her stage name “Frankie Cosmos”. For now, Phoebe Cates enjoys her life as an entrepreneur and businesswoman, while her present net worth of $5 million caters to her and her family’s daily needs.
