An actress who appeared in an episode of Friends doesn’t appear to have aged 25 years later.
In the 1999 season 5 episode The One with the Girl Who Hits Joey, Soleil Moon Frye played Katie, a love interest of Joey (Matt LeBlanc).
The couple’s storyline followed Joey as he struggled with his over-physical girlfriend.
Despite being kind and energetic, Katie repeatedly playfully punches his arm, but is so strong she keeps hurting him.
After deciding he wants to break up with her Joey anticipates another punch by wearing six sweaters on top of each other.
However, she ends up dumping him after Joey doesn’t defend her following an incident that sees Rachel kicks Katie’s ankle.
The character was played by Soleil, who began her acting career at just two-years-old.
When she was seven, Soleil was cast in the title role of the sitcom Punky Brewster, which ran from 1984 until 1988.
In the 1990s she also guest starred on The Wonder Years and Saved by the Bell, as well as voicing characters for the animated series Tiny Toon Adventures, The Ren & Stimpy Show, and The Cartoon Cartoon Show.
After her guest role in Friends, she then went on to play Roxie King in Sabrina the Teenage Witch and voicing a character in The Proud Family.
The 48-year-old shares four children with ex-husband Jason Goldberg, whom she split from four years ago.
She regularly shares updates of her family life on Instagram, where she boasts 320,000 followers.
The actress looks ageless and not much different to how she did during her appearance on Friends back in the 90s.
Her last screen role was in the 2021 revival of Punky Brewster.
She now owns a clothing boutique for children in Los Angeles and hosts a blog and web series that focus on child rearing and women’s issues.
Friends is streaming on Netflix.
