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.

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.
