There were cruel nicknames and awkward TV appearances that focused on her changing body. The film also shows the torment that Frye went through when she began developing.
“I think in some way - the teen me - felt responsible for these things.“ She says she needed to ”forgive the teenager in me that perhaps felt like she had put herself in certain situations.“ It also compelled her to talk with her two daughters about the complexities of sex. There’s a recorded phone call where she asks an unnamed male why she blacked out when she wasn’t drinking, and writes of an altercation she wasn’t ready for.įrye says she’s still processing those experiences but more than anything she wanted to forgive the girl who blamed herself at the time. It was so painful.”įrye also had to confront some past sexual experiences that bring up questions of consent. I think that is probably why on a subconscious level, in a lot of ways, I wasn’t ready to face it. “I look at these relationships and they formed so much of who I am. “These were not superficial relationships, these were deep, meaningful relationships with my friends that were family,“ she says, adding that she still considers Brandis one of her best friends. She was close with both actors Justin Pierce and Jonathan Brandis, who each died by suicide, and Harold Hunter who died from a cocaine-induced heart attack.

When watching, viewers will see she really did know everybody. I tried to make it about everybody but me,“ she said in a recent interview. “When I started the doc, it wasn’t meant to be about me.
She knew she had enough for a documentary and at first she didn’t want to be in it at all. Soleil, now 44, who is best-known for playing the plucky, mismatched star of “Punky Brewster,” only a few years ago felt a pull to open the vault to her teen years - coming of age in the 1990s in Los Angeles and then moving to New York for college. Such is the case with “Kid 90,” a new documentary available on Hulu Friday. It’s all documented and recorded.įrye says occasionally over the years she would pick up a diary and “skim through” and “then put it back.” She stashes her keepsakes away until she’s ready, sometimes decades later, with fresh eyes and a clear head.
