Cates mainly earned her income from acting gigs, which she took up after she felt like modeling was just the same thing over and over. She also did TV shows and gave her voice in many songs including "How Do I Let You Know" and "Just One Touch". She then took a break and launched the Blue Tree Boutique in New York City, which offered a wide range of items including women's apparel, embellished jewelry, home decor, accessories, and gift boxes. Cates is pretty happy with her retirement as she gets to handle the Blue Tree outlets and spend time with her husband and children.

Born as Phoebe Belle Cates in New York City, she spent her childhood with her sisters Valerie and Alexandra and attended the Julliard School. Modeling came to Cates as a profession at a young age but it became monotonous for her after some time. Then in 1983, Cates auditioned for a role in "The Big Chill," where she met Kevin Kline, and although she didn't get the role she found love and a lifelong partner. They did not actually date until they crossed paths again at New York City's Public Theatre, and the couple got married in 1989 in New York and became parents to Owen in 1991 and Greta in 1994. Owen chose to make a name for himself in the film industry while Greta was more inclined towards the music industry. The Kline family keeps a low profile and currently lives in Manhattan, New York but are often seen making appearances on the red carpet and parties. Phoebe took a break from acting to focus more on the family and embrace the feeling of motherhood by being with her children.
