Phoebe Cates largely stepped away from her acting career in the mid-1990s to prioritize raising her family.
A Focus on Family Life
After starring in the 1994 film Princess Caraboo, Phoebe Cates made a significant decision to step back from the limelight. Her primary motivation was to dedicate her time and energy to raising her two children.
She and her husband, Kevin Kline, have two children:
- Owen Kline: who has since become a successful filmmaker.
- Greta Kline: who has established herself as a musician.
Retreat from Acting
While her official retirement was never formally announced, Cates has not acted in a major production since 2001, making her departure from the screen a clear shift in her professional life. Her decision marked a quiet exit from Hollywood, allowing her to focus entirely on her personal life and family responsibilities.
