'80s Sitcom Sweetheart Stuns Fans With Nonchalant Airport Arrival
Actress Soleil Moon Frye kept things low key as she arrived in Raleigh, North Carolina ahead of a major fan fest over the weekend. Dressed in a mismatching sweatsuit and sneakers, the "Punky Brewster" star, 48, who was joined by fellow actress Gabrielle Carteris, mostly kept to herself with headphones plugged in. And while she managed to head out of the airport just like every other traveler — with no sign of fan fare — fans in the comments were delighted by the celebrity sighting. @thecarolinacockroach Soleil Moon Frye arriving at RDU Airport ahead of GalaxyCon Raleigh #SoleilMoonFrye #Soleil #Moon #Frye #PunkyBrewster #PenelopePunkyBrewster #Punky #Pumpkinhead2 #MotelBlue #TheGirlsRoom #SonnyBoy #Bratz #Kid90 #Actress #Director #FilmDirector #CHiPs #ItsPunkyBrewster #DiffrentStrokes #Cadets #SavedByTheBell #Friends #RobotChicken #TheProudFamily #ZoeyHowzer #ProudFamily #Raleigh #RaleighNC #RaleighNorthCarolina #NorthCarolina #RDU #RDUAirport #GalaxyCon #GalaxyConRaleigh #GalaxyConRaleigh2025 #GalaxyCon2025 #ComicCon #Nerd #Spotted #Famous #Paparazzi #CarolinaCockroach ♬ original sound - ilovethe80s "Will always love me some Punky Brewster!!!" one fan wrote, while another said Frye was, "Still, always the coolest girl in the room."
