became pregnant so she had to drop out. The role then went to Kimberly Williams. In the movie Private School, Phoebe sings two of the sound- track songs: Just One Touch and How Do I Let You Know. The punk band ‘Fenix TX’ wrote a song about her called, Phoebe Cates. According to Izumi Matsumoto, the creator of Kimagure Orange Road (1987) a popular manga series (Japanese comic) and animated TV-series, Cates was the inspiration behind the beautiful character Ayukawa Madoka. Where is she now? Shortly after she married Kevin Kline, Phoebe really put her career on the back burner and only appeared in select roles. Since then she, Kevin and her kids divide their time between their country estate in upstate New York and their luxury penthouse in Manhattan’s upper east side. When not supporting her husbands continuing fine stage and film work, she fills her time attending openings and benefits and her favorite activity, hosting dinner parties and ‘dishing the dirt’ with her celebrity friends. Although only appearing in the occasional film, she has put her son Owen into the movies, often showing up on the set to make sure he is behaving. He appeared with her in The Anniversary Party.
