Kindergarten Cop Star Pamela Reed Unrecognizable Decades Later

Pamela Reed, a prominent actress from the 1980s and 1990s, was recently observed during a casual outing in Los Angeles, appearing quite changed from her earlier screen roles. The 76-year-old was seen with her husband, director Sandy Smolan, and their dog, dressed in practical attire.

Reed, who starred in films like 'The Right Stuff' and 'Kindergarten Cop,' still garners fan attention for her role as Detective Phoebe O'Hara. She shared that fans frequently approach her with joy, often quoting her famous line from the film. Reed also recalled the comedic challenge of practicing Arnold Schwarzenegger's Austrian accent for a scene, which led to numerous takes due to Schwarzenegger's amusement.

Working with Schwarzenegger was described as a delightful experience, with Reed praising his generosity. The enduring legacy of 'Kindergarten Cop' was further highlighted when Schwarzenegger reunited with the child actors for the film's 30th anniversary via Zoom in 2020. Reed, a mother of two, married Smolan in 1988, and he is known for directing various television series.
