SOLEIL MOON FRYE:
As a teenager,
29
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:53,906
I carried a video camera with me
everywhere I went.
30
00:01:53,906 --> 00:01:55,991
I kept all of my diaries.
31

I kept every one
of my voicemail messages.
32
00:01:59,161 --> 00:02:03,040
I documented everything, and then
I locked it away for over 20 years.
33
00:02:03,832 --> 00:02:05,501
I've never looked back at it.
34
00:02:06,627 --> 00:02:09,338

This is crazy.

00:02:16,678 --> 00:02:19,348
did things really happen

Punky ended and I began

After Punky, I did a pilot.

00:06:21,256 --> 00:06:22,716
The pilot did not go.
122
00:06:23,342 --> 00:06:26,011
I was excited to be in school.
123
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:28,347
But I started developing.
124
00:06:28,347 --> 00:06:32,351
And I started developing rapidly.
125
00:06:32,351 --> 00:06:37,606
Going from a B to a C to a double D,
126
00:06:37,606 --> 00:06:39,525
to almost spilling into an E,
127
00:06:39,525 --> 00:06:43,695
and this all happened between
the time that I had finished "Punky"
128
00:06:43,695 --> 00:06:45,239
till I was 15.
129
00:06:45,239 --> 00:06:47,991
Everywhere I go, people are like,
"Oh, you're so grown up."
130
00:06:47,991 --> 00:06:49,993
You know, which was
just another way of being like,
131
00:06:49,993 --> 00:06:51,662
"Your tits are so big," you know?
132

The rejection that you deal with as a kid,
147

148
00:07:39,501 --> 00:07:41,795
like the reasons
for why you didn't get it.
149
00:07:41,795 --> 00:07:43,755
Like, "Eh, they just didn't
like your look."
150
00:07:43,755 --> 00:07:46,550
Oh, okay. Yeah, I'll go process that.
151
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:49,219
SOLEIL:
I think in piecing this together
152
00:07:49,219 --> 00:07:52,681
and reading my diaries, it was...
it was intense when I was young,
153
00:07:52,681 --> 00:07:56,185
but as a teenager,
it was a whole other level of...
154
00:07:56,185 --> 00:07:57,436
‐ Yeah.
‐ ...crazy.
155
00:07:57,436 --> 00:08:00,314
Because I developed so quickly and...
156
00:08:00,314 --> 00:08:03,192
and men treated me more like a woman...
157
00:08:03,192 --> 00:08:04,776
‐ and not a 13‐year‐old.
‐ Sure.
158
00:08:04,776 --> 00:08:07,738
I remember walking on the stage
of Saved by the Bell,
159
00:08:07,738 --> 00:08:10,532
and the director's saying, "The minute
you walk through these double doors
160
00:08:10,532 --> 00:08:13,160
"leading onto the stage,
you're no longer a child anymore,
161
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,454
you're an adult,
you have to act like an adult."
162
00:08:15,454 --> 00:08:17,706
And, you know, like,
you don't think much of it.
163
00:08:17,706 --> 00:08:19,166
You're like, "Okay, sure."
164
00:08:19,166 --> 00:08:23,086
But we all know what that meant,
is like this is an adult business.
165
00:08:23,086 --> 00:08:26,840
You know, it's not... I feel...
And that's one of the reasons
I don't want my children in it,
166
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,176
is because I don't feel
it's a place for children.
167
00:08:46,485 --> 00:08:49,947
SOLEIL: Any time I would talk to a guy,
he was looking straight at my boobs.

Uh, it is Wednesday night
at about eleven o'clock,

how these things work, don't you?
688

‐ I think I was drawn
towards the extremes...
689
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,805
because I wanted to feel it all
and I wanted to experience it all and...
690
00:40:29,805 --> 00:40:33,267
but I don't know if it goes back to

at certain moments in time.
697
00:40:54,580 --> 00:40:56,582
Life gets rough.
698
00:40:56,582 --> 00:41:00,043
It was all kind of innocent to begin with.
699
00:41:01,378 --> 00:41:04,840
Then it just started progressive,
as it does,
700
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,717
getting a little more insane
701
00:41:06,717 --> 00:41:10,137
and different drugs started
coming into play.
702
00:41:10,137 --> 00:41:13,223
Acid, mushrooms and... coke.
703
00:41:13,223 --> 00:41:15,809

than that, but...

that was enough.
708

I mean...
709
00:41:26,570 --> 00:41:30,908
I always did this little thing
where I'd do it
and then not do it for a long time,
710
00:41:30,908 --> 00:41:33,952

so super strung out or anything.
711

I reached out to Danny
1019
00:59:02,584 --> 00:59:06,255
and I asked him if I could
come out and talk to him.
1020
00:59:06,255 --> 00:59:10,259
It was this crazy thing when you haven't
seen somebody for over 20 years.
1021
00:59:12,970 --> 00:59:16,932
I didn't know what the response would be.
1022
00:59:17,474 --> 00:59:21,895
You said that someday
you wanted to find serenity.
1023
00:59:21,895 --> 00:59:23,522
DANNY: Did I?
SOLEIL: You did.
1024
00:59:23,522 --> 00:59:25,399
Do you think you found it now?
1025
00:59:25,399 --> 00:59:26,692
DANNY: Uhh...
1026
00:59:27,442 --> 00:59:28,527
More of it,
1027
00:59:28,527 --> 00:59:31,363
but I think it's something you have
to search for on a daily basis.
1028
00:59:31,363 --> 00:59:34,116
I don't think that I just wake up serene.
I think it's...
1029
00:59:34,116 --> 00:59:37,119
‐ You for sure got taller.
I feel much better now.
1030
00:59:37,119 --> 00:59:38,412
[Danny laughs]
1031
00:59:38,412 --> 00:59:41,123
‐ I, uh... I have to work at it.
1032
00:59:41,123 --> 00:59:44,001
I don't know that I'll ever feel
completely serene.
1033
00:59:44,001 --> 00:59:46,420
I don't know that's my‐‐ in my DNA.
1034
00:59:46,420 --> 00:59:49,047
Tulsa is a much more serene place for me.
1035
00:59:50,424 --> 00:59:52,885
But it takes some getting used to as well.
1036
00:59:53,385 --> 00:59:56,889
December, man, like it never, it never
looks like the Zales commercial,
1037
00:59:56,889 --> 01:00:00,475
you know, it's always missing a few things
that I think in my mind's eye
1038
01:00:00,475 --> 01:00:02,978
like my life should have,
and then you guys showed up.
1039
01:00:02,978 --> 01:00:05,147
It's like, ahh, like the star
on the Christmas tree.
1040
01:00:05,147 --> 01:00:07,316
Now it's like, it looks perfect.
1041

1042

Hold on. [laughs]
1043
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,493
I haven't seen you
in 20‐something years, so it's been...
1044
01:00:18,493 --> 01:00:20,621
it's been forever.
1045
01:00:24,374 --> 01:00:28,879
I had fast cars and I was dead set on like
1046
01:00:28,879 --> 01:00:31,632
wrapping one of those cars
around a telephone pole
1047
01:00:31,632 --> 01:00:34,676
or, you know, blowing my brains out
or doing too many, like...
1048
01:00:34,676 --> 01:00:36,261
We were living on the edge.
1049
01:00:36,970 --> 01:00:39,556
It's mind‐boggling that I'm still here.
1050
01:00:39,556 --> 01:00:42,142
We thought we were fooling everybody,
but we were clearly drug addicts,
1051
01:00:42,142 --> 01:00:43,894
and you didn't wanna see that in me
1052
01:00:43,894 --> 01:00:46,605
and so you got off the train
at the right, at the right station.
1053

So I'm glad that you didn't
have to see, you know‐‐

1175
01:07:49,486 --> 01:07:51,572
Yeah. Wow!
1176
01:07:51,572 --> 01:07:54,157
‐ You're supposed to swivel the thing.
1177
01:07:54,157 --> 01:07:56,285
‐ Look at me trying to direct you.
1178
01:07:56,285 --> 01:07:58,120
‐ When they see a bunch of kids
on a skateboard,
1179
01:07:58,120 --> 01:07:59,830
they think they
gonna start trouble and shit.
1180
01:07:59,830 --> 01:08:01,081
They just bored 'cause they old.
1181
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:03,750
‐ I went for it in the '90s.
1182
01:08:03,750 --> 01:08:05,502
I mean, I had fake fur coats.
1183
01:08:05,502 --> 01:08:09,089
I mean, I had bleached hair,
I mean, I was a fucking freak.
1184
01:08:09,882 --> 01:08:12,759
So you thought I was a jerk?
SOLEIL: A little bit.
1185
01:08:12,759 --> 01:08:14,970
Tell me our motorcycle story.
1186
01:08:14,970 --> 01:08:17,222
‐ Yeah, so...
1187
01:08:17,222 --> 01:08:20,017
Yeah, I mean, we had stolen
the motorcycle...
1188
01:08:20,017 --> 01:08:21,852
[laughing]
1189
01:08:21,852 --> 01:08:24,521
‐ So...
‐ You look like my daughter.
1190
01:08:24,521 --> 01:08:26,064
Gives me such anxiety.
1191
01:08:26,607 --> 01:08:30,319
‐ The cabbie dude drove right over
my foot, bro.
1192
01:08:30,319 --> 01:08:31,820
TEENAGE SOLEIL ON VIDEO:
We're in love.
1193
01:08:31,820 --> 01:08:34,656

1194
01:08:34,656 --> 01:08:38,869

I'm in love with all those guys.
1197
01:08:43,999 --> 01:08:46,376
Can't call Balthazar, that's fucking lame.
1198
01:08:47,044 --> 01:08:48,587
I already called him.
1199
01:08:48,587 --> 01:08:50,297
[laughing]
1200
01:08:50,297 --> 01:08:54,259
‐ As a kid, you sort of‐‐
you just really like go through life
1201
01:08:54,259 --> 01:08:57,804
and it doesn't matter,
and that's the beauty of being a kid,
1202
01:08:57,804 --> 01:08:59,389
is that it doesn't matter.
1203
01:08:59,389 --> 01:09:03,560
Like you get to just smile
and have fun and do whatever.
1204
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,188
‐ I wouldn't change the time continuum.
1205
01:09:06,188 --> 01:09:07,898
Like, I wouldn't adjust any‐‐
1206
01:09:07,898 --> 01:09:11,610
all the errors and mistakes
and things I wish I could take back
1207
01:09:11,610 --> 01:09:14,321
brought us to right here, right now.
1208
01:09:14,321 --> 01:09:16,823
To have you here at this time of my life,
1209
01:09:16,823 --> 01:09:20,744
to discuss how our lives
came together in that time,
1210
01:09:20,744 --> 01:09:22,913
everything is perfect.
1211
01:09:22,913 --> 01:09:25,457
SOLEIL: Do you think things happen
the way we remember them?
1212
01:09:26,291 --> 01:09:27,709
‐ I do.
1213
01:09:27,709 --> 01:09:29,002
For sure.
1214
01:09:29,002 --> 01:09:31,505
And then you can,
you have an artistic license.
1215
01:09:31,505 --> 01:09:34,675
You're telling the story,
so if you wanna be the hero...
