A Field Guide to Phoebe Cates

Considering that her entire history of doing nudity on film is contained to little more than one calendar year, Phoebe Cates has earned a place as one of the most desired actresses in Hollywood history. Her nude scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High launched MrSkin.com and has provided teenagers with a primo spank bank scene for well over 30 years. Phoebe is celebrating her 56th birthday today and we're celebrating by taking a look back at her amazing nude scenes, all from the years 1982 and 1983.

Released in early May, 1982, Paradise was a Blue Lagoon knockoff that provided us with the one thing Blue Lagoon couldn't: a legal star who bared all! Co-starring alongside future Celebrity Fit Club contestant Willie Aames, Cates played a survivor of an attack on a desert caravan, shacking up in a desert oasis with Aames. Her first nude scene comes just 23 minutes into the flick, as Aames catches her showering under a waterfall...

22 minutes later, Phoebe bathes once again, this time in a lake, as Aames watches from a distance...

At the 53 minute mark, Phoebe takes it all off to go skinny dipping in the ocean...

And we finally get a look at Phoebe's bush—along with the rest of her body—as she swims fully nude 2 minutes later...

Later that same summer, Cates stole the show in the aforementioned Fast Times at Ridgemont High, giving co-star Jennifer Jason Leigh some blowjob lessons with a carrot...

Of course, her big moment in the film comes just past the 51 minute mark as she emerges from the pool in her red bikini to the dulcet tones of The Cars' "Moving in Stereo," unhooking her bikini as she approaches Judge Reinhold—in his fantasy, of course...

We get another quick look at her breasts as she moves toward Reinhold to plant a smacker on his lips...

Phoebe's final flirtation with nudity was ass-tastic, coming in the following summer's flick Private School! An hour and 21 minutes into this comedy classic, Phoebe bares her buns while getting busy with a guy on a beach...

Then she and her classmates all moon the stuffy dean of the school at graduation, with Phoebe flaunting her ass in some sexy striped undies...

Phoebe remains a dream girl for many guys out there, and if she's somehow managed to skirt your list, I have a hard time believing you wouldn't make room for her on there now. Happy birthday Phoebe, and spanks for the memories!
