Punky Grew Up!

Soleil Moon Frye (born August 6, 1976 in Glendora, California) is an American actress and director. Frye is best known for her childhood role as the title character in Punky Brewster, a television sitcom.

At age eight, Frye starred in the title role of Punky Brewster, a television sitcom. The show aired on NBC and in syndication for several years during the mid-1980s. She also voiced the lead role in the animated series It's Punky Brewster.

Around the same time she was starring in Punky Brewster, Frye's voice was also heard in one episode of The Real Ghostbusters.

She co-starred alongside Sarah Chalke in I've Been Waiting For You, loosely based on the novel Gallows Hill by Lois Duncan.

She played Robin, a stuck-up girl, in a 4th season episode of Saved by the Bell. In 1990, she also played a romantic interest, Mimi Detweiler, to Fred Savage's character in an episode of The Wonder Years.

Frye appeared in Sabrina, the Teenage Witch as Roxy for the final three years of the show's run (2000 - 2003). The show starred Melissa Joan Hart, who had auditioned for the part of Punky Brewster years before. Frye once auditioned for the series Charmed, a dramedy about a trio of witch sisters.

She also guest-starred as Katie in the series Friends in the episode 'The One with the Girl who Hits Joey'.

In 2001, she debuted on the Disney Channel show The Proud Family as a voice talent. She is currently voicing the character of Jade in the Bratz animated series.

Before winning the role of Punky Brewster she appeared in a few made for TV films. As a child, Frye starred in the Disney film You Ruined My Life playing the spoiled, unruly girl who lives in a Las Vegas casino with her uncle.

During her late teens and early adult years, Frye made appearances in several low-budget and independent films, including The Saint Tammany Miracle.

She was one of the youngest directors in Hollywood history, directing Wild Horses while only twenty-two years old. Frye also directed and starred in a documentary, Sonny Boy, which documents her father's battle with Pick's Disease, and a cross-country journey the pair took to her father's hometown.

Celtic Dominate Lesser Team, St. Mirren's

With Some Help From The Official Celtic FC Site:

CELTIC returned to domestic action with a bang after their recent Champions League endeavours, drilling five past SPL opposition for the second league game in a row.

Given the midweek, extra-time exertions against Spartak it was perhaps expected that the early stages of this match would be something of a slow-burner, with both sides measuring each other in a cagey opening 20 minutes.

Gordon Strachan’s men were also adjusting to three changes in the midfield, with Paul Hartley, Evander Sno and Derek Riordan replacing Shunsuke Nakamura, Massimo Donati and Aiden McGeady.

Against St Mirren, Gordon Strachan’s men again stepped up a level, producing a thrilling, highly entertaining performance, with five different players all getting on the scoresheet.

Goals:

Celtic: S Brown 22', McDonald 25', Vennegoor of Hesselink 54', Riordan 56', McManus 74'

St Mirren: Miranda 75'

With the squad now breaking up for the forthcoming international series of international fixtures this win will send the players off on a high and the supporters genuinely looking forward to their return home against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on September 15.



WooHoo no big letdown after the big Champions League match vs Spartak Moscow, lookin' pretty good! It was clear from the get go who was the superior team, and there was definitely some dodgy defending on St Mirren's part (just watch the highlight video above). In fact the most sparkling strike of the day might have been St Mirren's lone tally. Either way, the Bhoys go into the International break with some momentum.

Hail! Hail!
