Biography
Auburn haired Kerri Green was born in Fort Lee, New Jersey, USA on
14 January 1967. In 1984, Kerri decided to skip summer camp and
attend some movie auditions in New York City instead. This led her
to the attention of none other than 'Steven Spielberg' (qv), who
cast her as Andy in Richard Donner's adventure movie _Goonies, The
(1985)_ (qv), which was one of the biggest hits of 1985. Also that
year, she played one of John Candy's three children in the movie
_Summer Rental (1985)_ (qv). However, she gave her most
accomplished performance in David Seltzer's _Lucas (1986)_ (qv) -
Corey Haim was the title character, a bespectacled, intelligent and
unpopular 14-year-old misfit, who befriends 16-year-old Maggie,
played brilliantly by Kerri, who Lucas soon falls in love with.
However, Maggie has fallen for handsome football hero Cappie
(Charlie Sheen), which breaks Lucas' heart. A heartwarming,
realistic and enjoyable teen movie, Lucas also featured Ally McBeal
star Courtney Thorne-Smith and, making her film debut, Winona
Ryder. Kerri was reunited with Charlie Sheen for 1987's road movie
_Three For the Road (1987)_ (qv), in which she played Robin, the
rebellious daughter of a ruthless senator. Following the release of
that movie, Kerri decided to quit acting and studied art at Vassar
College. Audiences didn't see her again until the TV movie _Blue
Flame (1993)_ (qv), opposite Raquel Welch. She received critical
acclaim for her direction of the film _Bellyfruit (1999)_ (qv). Her
marriage in the Nineties has led to her now being credited as
"Kerri Lee Green" and she now only pops up now and then on
television - most notably in an episode of "ER" as a mother of
several children, who tearfully wants to terminate her latest
pregnancy.
