In 1988, Cates said, “I think of theater as what I prefer to do best. As an actress, I’ve only felt content for roughly two years. I hardly ever watch my filmmaking.

Nonetheless, Cates continued to work in films in the late 1980s, starring with Bridget Fonda in the comedies Shag and Big City. Regrettably, none of these films did well at the box office, and the most of them received negative reviews.

Phoebe Cates played the title role in the 1994 historical comedy Princess Caraboo. It is based on the true story of Mary Baker, who in the 1800s used the alias Princess Caraboo to trick a British town into believing she was a foreign monarch.
