BTB: Jane Wilkens Michael: Heart and Soleil

Jane Wilkens Michael Better Than Before

Speaking with Soleil Moon Frye - Jane’s guest today is the iconic actress, director, producer, and screenwriter Soleil Moon Frye. While best known for her 80’s persona as Punky Brewster—and now from her current show, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder— she considers her most important role as being the proud mom of four children. On this segment, Soleil and Jane talk about the origin of her unusual name, how she started in show business, her wonderful years as Punky, her beauty and health secrets, and all the many other highlights of her storied career. High on that list is her involvement with CORE, the Community Organized Relief Effort, for whom she recently went to the Ukraine; and is now urging the public to do what they can to help. But with all that she has done and continues to do, her children are by far her greatest interest And, for the sake of her 17-year-old daughter, she has recently become a passionate public advocate, joining forces with the pharma giant GSK, in Ask2BSure, a public health campaign, created to help empower parents to ask their child’s doctor about the life-saving meningitis B vaccination. All in all, you will hear how Soleil is helping us all become Better Than Before.
