Punky Brewster star, Soleil Moon Frye, is now a 35-year-old mother of two. She runs her own parenting blog and is the author of the book, Happy Chaos.
She was one of the kid stars with whom Michael Jackson shared a hot tub.
Frye writes: “So there I was sitting with Michael Jackson, alone in his Jacuzzi, talking about life, love, and the secrets of the world. I was eight years old. Yes, I know you’re probably horrified, or at least a little confused as you read this, wondering how in the world I got there.”
She met Jackson through his close friend, Quincy Jones, and shortly thereafter, Frye and her mother were invited to Jackson’s home.
“Michael took my mother and me on a tour of his home. We saw his elaborate costumes encased in glass, his bedroom, all of his knickknacks, and his stunning recording studio…We watched Willy Wonka and Michael and I sat next to each other. He had a way of speaking as if he were a child, too.”
On The Today Show, Frye said, “I didn’t realize how strange it was then.”
