Phoebe Cates – Businesswoman

Phoebe Cates appeared in different movies and TV shows back in the 1980s. She is a famous actress, best known for her Fast Times roles at Ridgemont High and Gremlins. However, Cates retired from acting in 1994 to raise her two kids at the peak of her career and popularity. She eventually returned on the big screen in 2001 as a cast in the movie The Anniversary Party.

Though some thought it was her comeback to reel life, it was just a favor Cates did for Jennifer Jason Leigh, the director of the said film, and her close friend and co-star. Not much had heard about her since 2001 except comes 2005 when she opened her boutique, Blue Tree. Her store is at Madison Avenue in New York who sells jewelry and antiques. With this in mind, we cannot help but think that Cates probably used a large amount of her investment money to launch her business.
