Kerri Green, a stunning individual with Auburn locks, was born on January 14, 1967, in the picturesque town of Fort Lee, New Jersey, USA. Her early life was marked by a sense of adventure and a desire to pursue her dreams, as evidenced by her decision to skip summer camp in 1984 and attend movie auditions in New York City instead. This bold move caught the attention of none other than the renowned film director, Steven Spielberg, who cast her in the iconic adventure movie, The Goonies (1985),alongside a talented ensemble cast. The film's massive success in 1985 was just the beginning of Kerri's illustrious career, as she went on to play a significant role in the comedy film, Summer Rental (1985),alongside the incomparable John Candy.
However, it was her portrayal of Maggie in David Seltzer's Lucas (1986) that truly showcased her remarkable acting abilities. In this heartwarming and realistic teen movie, Kerri played the role of a 16-year-old girl who captures the heart of the title character, Lucas, played by Corey Haim. The film also featured notable performances from Courtney Thorne-Smith and Winona Ryder, who made her film debut in the movie. Kerri's chemistry with her co-stars, particularly Charlie Sheen, was undeniable, and she went on to reunite with him in the road movie, Three for the Road (1987),where she played the rebellious daughter of a ruthless senator.
After the release of Three for the Road, Kerri decided to take a hiatus from acting and pursued her passion for art by studying at Vassar College. Her decision to leave the spotlight was met with a mixture of surprise and admiration, as she had made a significant impact on the film industry during her early years. Kerri's return to acting was marked by her direction of the film Bellyfruit (1999),which received critical acclaim. Her personal life has also been marked by significant changes, including a marriage in the 1990s that led to her being credited as Kerri Lee Green. Today, she continues to pop up in various television shows and films, including an episode of the popular medical drama, ER, where she played a mother of several children who tearfully seeks to terminate her latest pregnancy.
