1989 (July) - Phoebe Cates

Late Night with David Letterman

[@mikecronis]

Her smile is pure sunshine.

[@matthewjones8865]

She’s so beautifully sweet with a gorgeous smile and laugh. Phoebe has such a kind heart what a wonderful world it would be if there were more Phoebe Cates in it.

[@Mrd9960]

I loved her in Gremlins and even more in Fast Times, what a classic scene that was, when she took her top off, wish she would have showed her ass also, but we seen that in Paradise, with the shower scene😁😁😁

[@stevenanthony6223]

This amazing woman has it all. It leaves you speechless.

[@dlarremore]

Shes always been number 1 on my all time favorites list...since i first saw her when i was 12 Im 47 now

[@richcastro8990]

Same story here. No one comes close.

[@j.livingstoneseagull3914]

Me three. Yeah. Born 75.

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

Me too. Baddest looking woman ive ever seen.

[@armandocornejo7476]

Such a gorgeous smile My God!!!

[@jimgallagher2979]

She was actually 26 when this happened, but looked 10 years younger. Such a great attitude and personality.

[@ytzpilot]

She looked older when she was 18

[@AntiqueCycles]

She is literally, BREATHTAKING!

[@jedijones]

This is such a gem of a beloved era of Late Night. Perfectly pretty Phoebe and perfectly funny Dave.

[@noshok7436]

Throughout my entire life I've never really paid attention to Phoebe except in the small doses of public exposure she's done over the years, but every time I do come across her I'm absolutely fascinated with her. She seems like such a beautiful human being, super smart, friendly and stunningly gorgeous. She just radiates perfection. Congratulations Kevin Kline, you've gotten one of God's most amazing creations...asshole.

[@anthonydixon452]

Nosho K, your comments are all spot-on. Note to Kevin? LMAO 😂

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

Easy there, Epstein

[@ThunderZandor]

Well...that was uncalled for! 😔

[@glennspeeds]

She makes my heart melt

[@johnjones5354]

Charming, witty, poised, talented, and extraordinarily beautiful.

[@ThunderZandor]

Carrie Fisher also has those same qualaties. Please Phoebe replace Rey when they redo Star Wars 7, 8 and 9. with George Lucas back in charge of his franchise.

[@joshbaino3087]

​@@ThunderZandorshe retired from acting 23 years ago

[@ThunderZandor]

@@joshbaino3087 I'm sure a George Lucas lead Star Wars could use her in some way even after 23 years retired.😀

[@joshbaino3087]

@@ThunderZandor sounds nice, but I seriously doubt they would remake star wars again. The franchise is starting to lose money. Also how could Phoebe play such a young character when she's 60?

[@mongo99999]

Cates was and I guess still is a real heartthrob. Beautiful woman and talented.

[@guidosanchez5695]

Of all her hairstyles, this was my favorite. So beautiful.

[@SJUCityBoy]

Wow! What could be said that hasn't been said thus far about Ms. Cates? Golden Ratio perfection. Enough said.

[@erikbarton6352]

Phoebe Cates is amazing! This episode stands out for me because I was in the audience... Wish I could find the whole show online. A very young Will Smith was also on this episode, he wasn't even the Fresh Prince yet.

[@ThunderZandor]

Did he slap Dave for ogling over Phoebe?? And did Will slap himself for doing the same behind Jeda Pinket's back. Shame!

[@Petestanton]

Just gorgeous.

[@ShartySpice]

God she's beautiful

[@stephenjohnson2327]

I believe I can speak for most of the male Gen. Xers when I say that our fantasies and hearts were crushed by her marriage announcement. Many of us still haven't recovered.

[@anthonydeville5976]

Yes, she is incredibly beautiful.

[@Strimbles]

It did work out, 30 years and still married!!!

[@karunm4603]

Does she have any social media accounts..its hard to follow her

Was she awe inspiring?

[@Philmoscowitz]

I just love Phoebe Cates

[@larrysmith1568]

Phoebe is a masterpiece.

[@savedfaves]

Kevin was 42 and phoebe was 26 when they wed. Still together. Lucky boy.

[@mattm8642]

savedfaves , the rule is half your age, plus six years so half of his age is 21, plus six equals 27, he can marry her, almost! Close enough. He aged early though, afterwards; her, not so.

[@tomwhitmore1325]

She is Changing his Depends now. That's kind of Hot in a weird way.🤣

[@rudyamezquita2440]

there's no rule Matt m the only rule is what the age of consent law says u can do stop making up shit

[@lk6015]

Gents, when I met my wife 25 years ago, she looked a lot like Pheobe Cates and even more beautiful than Cates, in my eyes, and now I have 3 beautiful teenage daughters. I am a blessed man.

[@MrMikeyx007]

For those that don't know she sings a song called paradise and it's on here on KZbin

[@unprofound]

I'm guessing this song is in support of her 1st movie, "Paradise" She does not speak fondly of that film.

[@shanekeogh4740]

I could watch Phoebe all night!

[@mrsmith2191]

Letterman always had a crush on her but who wouldn't?

[@charleschannell2286]

Absolutely love her!

[@jaycuthbert5846]

Poor Letterman tried so hard to stay calm.

[@ColoradoJoeM]

Dave gets uncomfortable and creepy around beautiful woman

[@noonetime8478]

I remember back in '87 We used to walk from school after classes just to go to a 'not so far" street where theres a beauty salon that has phoebe's poster on the glass mirror. We did it everyday just to see that poster really😄😄😄

[@davidbenson001]

I've always loved her!

[@rajnbull]

I couldn't agree more with this statement! now in 2019 she still looks great.

[@greenwich1754]

There are certain women who just captivate, deer in the headlights; she definitely is one of those. My dad once told me that when you really love a woman, sex is a secondary issue, because with genuine love comes respect.

[@865TN]

I was born in July 1989- too bad, she’s so cute id transcend generations for a chance lol

[@milescorp6237]

Gorgeous!

[@davedogge2280]

I wish she's done more in her movie career. now she works in her own boutique I think but if she's happy good on her.

[@PrinceDepecheMode]

So beautiful......my first celebrity crush (1984 Gremlins).

[@metaldad2112]

No Better word can describe PURITY as does Phoebe Cates ...

[@Trescompadres1]

I loved seeing this, I'm looking for her on Letterman & she's wearing black &!orange kind of jump suit 80s of course.

[@cr8iveamboy775]

Phoebe is a graduate of Julliard, was friend's with Andy Warhol & her family worked in Television & Broadway production... wow, no wonder her Linda Barrett character seemed so witty, wise & worldly :)

[@robertwiles8106]

She wasn't witty, wise and worldly though. She was exaggerating and telling lies. At least that's how I always interpreted it.

[@twagn]

She looks terrific....really

[@jamielancaster01]

She was 26 & Kevin Klein was 42 when they got married.

[@boblee5271]

Man, she was my idol back in the day. She just disappeared after getting kidnapped by that cradle robbing Kevin cline.

[@jaymcd8577]

lucky bastard

[@handymanny6615]

Lol

[@warpeace4058]

Cradle robber🤣🤣!

how the fuck is he a cradle robber when she's an adult

I think her bridesmaid that got mascara on her veil was Jennifer Jason Leigh.

[@watchman1178]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@christopherdimaano4418]

I have her poster until now in my closet my ultimate crush

[@stacyjennings543]

My interpretation of Dave's conversation with phoebe: your smile is heaven and I'm extremely jealous of your husband Phoebe: you're making it obvious that you're jealous on national TV that's why I got to laugh...

[@timfart9414]

90k views and only 500 likes. Every one forgets to “like” because they’re busy commenting on her beauty.

I never found this video before because he didn't put Letterman in the title. Finally today it got recommended.
