cutest is the wrong nomenclature.......she is on a much higher level than cute.........Meg Ryan is the cutest.....phoebe is stunningly beautiful. That is subjective, but i'll bet most would agree....
Phoebe was absolutely gorgeous she just had that look that you can't explain but one look at her and she mesmerizes you...she turned out in later years to be not only a beauty on the outside but a down to earth girl with a wonderful personality.

Betsy Russell is the only woman that could take down Phoebe in a movie, she did that in Private School. Betsy and Phoebe were neck and neck as the hottest of the 80's. Phoebe had the swimming pool scene, Betsy had the horseback riding scene.
She was my only female idol in my teens. She set the right standard of external beauty but I didn't know until recent years how much more internal beauty & grace she possesses whole time.
Without a doubt it's the sexiest (R-rated, no sex) scene in cinema history. It's hard to describe just how it worked, without being graphic, so just watch it if you haven't seen it. Those kids talking about her in Stranger Things 3 was super legit. I was 12 when the movie came out, and that's all we were talking about. Well, also how "totally awesome" Spicoli was
It was hard back in the day to find a VHS rental copy of Fast Times at Ridgement High where the tape wasn't all messed up during her topless scene because so many guy's would watch it repeatedly. It was a great scene but the whole movie is great and holds up really well. Sean Penn's first role and he kills it! Phoebe's great...Jennifer Jason Leigh is great...so many quotable lines. Funny and moving too. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it in a while.
Vincent Cuttolo You mean he has a social conscience? Yes, odd isn’t it? Especially when you have a serial bankrupt crass vulgarian former ‘reality’ TV presenter as president issuing Twitter farts every few minutes. But by all means criticise the man who campaigns for humanity. Moronmuch?
Man, I can't tell you how many times as a 16 year old in 1984 I fantasized about Phoebe Cates. It was such a disappointment when she married Kevin Kline. I can't think of anyone coming close to her looks in Hollywood since. She was an absolute stunner.
THANK YOU! I'm a big Phoebe Cates fan, but up to now the only Letterman appearances of hers that have been on UA-cam were from the mid-'90s when she was near the end of her movie career. I knew she was on a few times around '83 and '84 when she was at her peak, but they've never been available here until now. I really appreciate it.
I watched this live back in the day. Back when the idea that watching 4 hours of TV everyday was going to melt our brains. Today we are married to a much smaller device and watch it much more than 4 hours a day. Phoebe has always been a stunning beauty.
i have been thinking about this quite often lately. many are not thinking about how much we are on our devices today. back in the day, if you stayed in the house to watch tv all day you were a shut in! as a 19 year old, i think about the culture change over time and how it affects the youth especially.
what sets her apart is her intelligence and her voice. She doesnt have that little girl persona but rather a confident strong girl. strong voice - sweet face
Yes he did, but he's a pretty cool guy himself. They are still married, so he knew she was the one. Why is it always the guy who's lucky, just because the girl is pretty? That's American culture.
@Fran Ra maybe its because the guy is 15 years older, and that is kind of unusual that a female sex symbol marries an older man just for love and not security.
@Fran Ra Well, she was actually born rich but Kevin Kline did say she is a sensible girl just like him. He was at first afraid that aside from finding him a lot older, they wouldn't have anything in common. He was pleasantly surprised that they both had a lot to talk about and the rest is history.
@@francisqchristopher8684 didn't she say she was 17 when she did the Blue Lagoon-like scene? Not Fast Times one, to which I believe you may be referring.
We are so blessed by the existence of UA-cam! I feel so grateful... How else would I have been able to watch, in 2020, a 1984 Phoebe Cates' interview? Being able to watch an interview with Phoebe Cates at her career peak, just by typing this three words: "Phoebe Cates Interview".
She is replete. Still stunning and very east coast bright. She reads the New Yorker and gets it, and also had the values to put family ahead of career. I heart her.
THIS is the best one you've posted so far!!! I hadn't seen this one and was surprised she was happy to talk about Fast Times. On the Gremlins DVD commentary she sounds like she doesn't want to be there at all.
Absolutely beautiful! A couple of years later Jennifer Connelly and Elizabeth Shue came along as other late-teen/early 20s cuties. I never realized Phoebe was a couple of years older than me, I guess it was because she always played high school roles.
Daniel - Yes, she was already involved with Kline. She and Kline met a year earlier, when she met him when she auditioned to play a role on "The Big Chill" (a roll that went to Meg Tilley).
Man god sure made her beautiful! My teen years crush I would watch fast times at least 4 times a week just to see the pool scene! What a gorgeous smile.
I think she is probably one of the cutest of all time.
It's not even a question!

@@FinalManaTrigger your right. It's a stated opinion!
@@lt8865 and it's undeniably correct
@@hamburgerhelper22 Oh I so totally agree, she is stunning and still has it. I hate Kevin Kline :)
Phoebe Cates looks like that girl that everyone had a crush on in high school, but was too chicken to ask out, and regretted it to this day.
She would have said no...
Perfect. Yes
lol, oh man don't remind me.
neoasura true
Brad AKA Judge Reinhold never got over not asking her out and stayed so baffled by her beauty, he became a close talker in Seinfeld. LOL
Phoebe was absolutely gorgeous she just had that look that you can't explain but one look at her and she mesmerizes you...she turned out in later years to be not only a beauty on the outside but a down to earth girl with a wonderful personality.
I can explain it ... it's her east Asian DNA (Indonesian). It's hybrid vigor.
@@rubiks6 Indonesian is East Asian? I think it is Southeast Asian. And she has Chinese-Filipino blood, 1/4 only.

Thanks for uploading! She is my greatest crush of all time. Can't get enough of these old videos lately!
The 80's were the best time to be young
I was there and I still wish it were not so, but you are right.
Ain’t that the truth.
Class of 1982
The 90's were better.
Every generation thinks that about their decade, lol
Without a doubt she was one of the most beautiful women in the world. A absolute goddess.
Sweetness of face similar with the young Demi Moore.

No, there is plenty of doubt.
I love her confidence. And how she owns it with everything that she has done.
Simply perfect
Man, that 80’s genuine beautiful innocent voice is mesmerizing ✨ ❤️
I couldn't tell you enough about her dark eyes and hair 😍
She was the hottest girl of the 80s that everyone went crazy for! So incredibly cute and bodacious!
I haven’t heard the word “bodacious “ since the 80’s!

AFBrat77 The 80s means 80-89. That’s a long time and many girls/ women. I think we’re focusing on early to mid 80s in this conversation.
She was my only female idol in my teens. She set the right standard of external beauty but I didn't know until recent years how much more internal beauty & grace she possesses whole time.
My two favorites from the 80’s... Phoebe Cates & Susanna Hoffs.
I was just thinking the same thing. Also thought to myself "If i had to make a choice".
How about a Phoebe/Susanna sandwich?
Susanna is still an absolute knockout
Great taste. I concur, on both counts. 👍👍
Sherilyn Fenn
she's so damn pretty... lifelong crush
You can tell Letterman is on edge due to her amazing looks. Who wouldn't be?
God she was gorgeous! I have fantasized about her for years! She's still lovely today in her 50"s. Wish she had made more films back then.
her coming out of the pool is rated the hottest scene EVER and i agree.
