For those who ever wondered what life was like for teenage stars of yesteryear, Punky Brewster has the answer.
Soleil Moon Frye, who starred as the precocious preteen during the hit the 1980s sitcom “Punky Brewster,” is providing a glimpse into the life of young actors in her upcoming documentary “Kid 90.”
The film is composed from hundreds of hours of footage from the 1990s decade, serves as “a blueprint of Frye’s life,” and includes videos, voicemails, audio recordings and diary entries from her past, as well as new interviews with lifelong friends David Arquette, Brian Austin Green, Stephen Dorff, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and others.
“When I was growing up in the ’90s, I carried a video camera with me everywhere I went, and then I locked the footage away for over 20 years,” Frye, 44, said.”I often wondered if things had happened the way that I remembered them and I finally decided to unlock the vault.”
“What started as a documentary about my friends and our lives soon became a coming-of-age story about myself that has changed me forever,” she added.

Her previous directorial credits include “Wild Horses” and documentary “Sonny Boy.”
Frye reprises her role in the Peacock reboot of “Punky Brewster,” portraying a single mother of three trying to get her life back on track when she meets a young girl — played by Quinn Copeland — who reminds her a lot of her younger self.
Co-produced with Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way Productions and STX Entertainment, “Kid 90” will be released on Hulu.
