Phoebe Cates
An undeniable icon of the 1980s and 1990s, Phoebe Cates was truly a multitalented sensation. With her magnetic presence in films such as Fast Times at Ridgemont High and the quirky Gremlins, it’s no surprise that her role in Drop Dead Fred remains etched in fans’ memories worldwide.
But in a move that surprised many, Cates decided to step away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood merely three years after that iconic role, opting for a quieter life to raise her children, Owen and Greta.
