Soleil Moon Frye (born August 6, 1976 in Glendora,
California) is an American actor|actress and Film
director|director. She was born to Virgil Frye and
Sondra Peluce. She has the honor of being one of
the youngest directors in Hollywood history,
directing Wild Horses while still in her teens.

Frye first found popularity at age 8, when she
starred as Punky Brewster, the title character of
a television Situation comedy|sitcom. The show
aired on National Broadcasting Company|NBC and in
syndication for many years during the 1980s. Later
billed a child actor|child star, Soleil soon was
viewed by the public eye less for her
accomplishments in television and film and more
for spectacular tabloid headlines.

During her teenager|teenaged years, stories
surrounded a romance with Edward Furlong, and,
more notably, a well-publicized breast reduction
surgery. At 15, Soleil went "under the knife" to
reduce back pain caused by growing abnormally
large breasts for her age (Frye participated in a
cover story for People Magazine discussing her
health problems caused by the condition). After
the true reason for the surgery was publicized
many rumors died away.

During her late teens and early adult years, Frye
made appearances in several low-budget and
independent films. She began to acquire a
reputation for being very difficult to work with.
In particular, on the set of the film The Saint
Tammany Miracle, Frye purportedly showed up late
on multiple occasions, got into arguments with
other actors, and at one point came in to work
with a hangover.

Frye appeared in Sabrina the Teenage Witch as the
coarse but sweet Roxy for several years. The show
starred Melissa Joan Hart, who had auditioned for
the part of Punky Brewster years before. Frye once
auditioned for the series Charmed, a drama about a
trio of witch sisters.

In 2001, she debuted on the Disney Channel show
The Proud Family as a voice talent.

Frye married Jason Goldberg, a television producer
and actor, in October 25, 1998 and is expecting
her first child in August, 2005.

#She is now a medical doctor who practices in
veterinary medicine. (She attended New School
University in New York for one year only.)

all augmentation was due to puberty.

life-threatening breast disease that threatened to
harm her Heart|heart. There is no public record or

early stages of the cancer were detected as
puberty began. Her mother did not have cancer.
