Kerri Green mini-bio: Auburn haired Kerri Green was born in Fort Lee, New Jersey, USA on 14 January
1967. In 1984, Kerri decided to skip summer camp and attend some movie
auditions in New York City instead. This led her to the attention of none other
than Steven Spielberg, who cast her as Andy in Richard Donner's adventure movie
The Goonies (1985), which was one of the biggest hits of 1985. Also that year,
she played one of John Candy's three children in the movie Summer Rental
(1985). However, she gave her most accomplished performance in David Seltzer's
Lucas (1986) - Corey Haim was the title character, a bespectacled, intelligent
and unpopular 14-year-old misfit, who befriends 16-year-old Maggie, played
brilliantly by Kerri, who Lucas soon falls in love with. However, Maggie has
fallen for handsome football hero Cappie (Charlie Sheen), which breaks Lucas'
heart. A heartwarming, realistic and enjoyable teen movie, Lucas also featured
Ally McBeal star Courtney Thorne-Smith and, making her
film debut, Winona Ryder. Kerri was reunited with Charlie Sheen for 1987's road
movie _Three For The Road (1987)_ , in which she played Robin, the rebellious
daughter of a ruthless senator. Following the release of that movie, Kerri decided
to quit acting and studied art at Vassar College. Audiences didn't see her again
until the TV movie Blue Flame (1993), opposite Raquel Welch. She received critical
acclaim for her direction of the film Bellyfruit (1999). Her marriage in the
Nineties has led to her now being credited as "Kerri Lee Green" and she now only
pops up now and then on television - most notably in an episode of "ER" as a mother
of several children, who tearfully wants to terminate her latest pregnancy.
