I remember I was in my early 20s when Phoebe Cates first appeared in movies in one in the desert Paradise (1982 film)) copying the Brook Shields movie The Blue Lagoon (1980)..
She was one beautiful babe, way better looking than Brook Shields was,
Well, the difference between Cates and Shields is that while Shields has a beautiful face (and I love natural thick eyebrows on women, short of a unibrow, and loathe the pencil-thin horror), her body is more boyish and tall and flat chested (I believe the contrast between her and the body double they used in “Lagoon” was ridiculous). Phoebe, while petite, is clearly more voluptuous in “Paradise.” The one thing that always bugged me for the longest time is when she cut her hair. Long hair (like she had in “Fast Times...”) and she was a stunner. The boy cut was a visceral turnoff.
