Not even close.

Cates was famous for being in films.

Bonet was famous for being on a TV show that spun-off to another.

Cates did a nude scene at the beginning of her career, after which her career prospered.

Bonet did a nude scene in the midst of her TV career.

Cates' career came to a grinding halt due to retirement, making only a few appearances since her major role in Drop Dead Fred.

Bonet's career may have been slow, but it has been steady, with her appearing in ten projects since the Cosby Show, and only two projects beforehand.

If you can read this then you are trying too hard.

Not In A Million Years Would This Woman Look As Good As Cates Did In Her Prime...Or Now,For That Matter.

reply

No, sorry. Cates is beautiful and smiles.

Phoebe owns a gift shop in Manhattan, therefore I am guessing she left the acting field, but her daughter is a singer. I liked her in Gremlins and Drop Dead Fred. I think Lisa is a devoted stay at home mom to her two kids with second hubby Jason Mamoa. I liked her in Cosby and Different World.

Phoebe Cates left acting to stay home and raise her family. Kevin Kline made more than enough money to keep them comfortable. The shops came later after the kids were older.

Thanks for letting me know.

Everyone is forgetting Phoebe's signature film, Princess Caraboo, where she met her future husband. The narrative of the movie is a charming, real-life fairy tale, and so was the reality of the production. Bonet never did anything even close to this achievement. Bonet was never a movie star.

That's an utterly charming film, I should watch it again!

Cates never looked better, or gave a better performance. It's kind of a pity she left the screen after that, but that was up to her and not me. And well, who wouldn't want to make the most of being married to Kevin Kline?
