Born Phoebe Belle Katz on July 16, 1963 in New York City, Cates is a model-turned-actress who secured a permanent place among screen sex symbols. She first rose to prominence for her portrayal of a high-school dream-girl, Linda Barrett, in the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Leaving a mark with her dark and vaguely Asian good looks rather than her acting skills, she went on to play a series of ingenue but sexually charged parts in films like Paradise (1982), Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), Private School (1983) and Gremlins (1984). As the years passed, she started to get more wholesome roles, like the one opposite Michael J. Fox in Bright Lights, Big City (1988). But once she got married to actor Kevin Kline in 1989, Cates abandoned acting altogether to focus on her family and business opportunities. She set up a Manhattan boutique, Blue Tree, in 2005. Irrespective of her brief film career, provided enough memorable performances in the Seventh Art.
