Soleil Moon Frye (born August 6, 1976 in Glendora, California) is a Jewish American actress and director. She was born to Virgil Frye and Sondra Peluce Londy. She has the honor of being one of the youngest directors in Hollywood history, directing Wild Horses while only 22. Frye first found popularity at age 8, when she starred as Punky Brewster, the title character of a television sitcom. The show aired on NBC and in syndication for many years during the 1980s. Later billed a child star, Soleil soon was viewed by the public eye less for her accomplishments in television and film and more for spectacular tabloid headlines. |
