"Kids today are much more independent than their parents were. We're really into getting jobs and we mature sexually much earlier than a generation ago. Or, at least, we are involved in sex earlier."
| Date of Birth: July 16th, 1963 |
| Birthplace: New York City |

| Though in showbiz all her life, Phoebe's main claim to fame has come from her work in seminal 1980s movies, like the teen comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High and the classic horror-comedy Gremlins. |
 |
| Phoebe's got an irrepressible charm and a hint of mischief about her that are instantly appealing. Plus, we admire her decision, in these days of the ubiquitous working mother, to put her career on hold in order to raise a family. |

Phoebe Belle Katz was born on July 16th, 1963 in New York City, into a family with Filipino and Russian Jewish roots. Her father and uncle were both producers (who later adopted the stage name "Cates"), so from a young age Phoebe was accustomed to the show business milieu. She attended Professional Children's School in New York City as well as the School of American Ballet, until a knee injury in 1977 forced her to quit.
In the late '70s, Cates had moderate success as a teen model, doing commercials and appearing in magazines like Seventeen. She scored her first movie role in a Blue Lagoon knockoff called Paradise (1982). She played Sarah, a young aristocrat stranded with a young man in a desert oasis, who predictably falls in love with the man. "I was only 17 when I did my nude scenes," Phoebe later explained. "They were serious and more difficult because they were not easily justified." |
