At the tender age of 17, Phoebe Cates appeared naked in what was her first ever movie.

 

While the 1982 film Paradise (a Blue Lagoon rip-off) was controversial at the time, given Cates was considered a minor, it certainly put her name on the map, with viewers bewildered by her beauty.

 

Her very next film, released only two months later, would then skyrocket her status as Hollywood’s ultimate fantasy woman.

 

Emerging from the water in a fire red bikini, Cates’ jaw-dropping scene in the teen comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High would eventually be described as “the most memorable bikini-drop in cinema history”.

 

Playing the loveable Linda Barrett in the successful movie, which also starred Nicolas Cage, Sean Penn and Jennifer Jason Leigh, the film ranked 29th among US releases in 1982, ultimately earning more than $US27 million, six times its $US4.5 million budget.

 

Over the years it has gained cult status, and with it, has helped Cates keep her title as one of tinsel town’s favourite pin-up girls.

She says herself that she was 17 when doing nude scene for Paradise.

 

“I was only 17 when I did my nude scenes in Paradise. They were serious and more difficult because they were not easily justified. But the topless scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High was funny, which made it easy,” she said in a 1982 interview.

 

“In this business, if a girl wants a career, she has to be willing to strip. If you’ve got a good bod, then why not show it?”

Cates was 17 when they started filming “Paradise,” which also includes nudity. However, the producers behind “Paradise” still found a body double to increase the amount of nudity in the movie without telling Cates. The actress was pissed when she found out, bowing out of publicity for the theatrical release and disowning the movie. She even sided with Columbia when the studio went after “Paradise’s” Embassy Pictures for blatantly copying “The Blue Lagoon.”
