Her other notable roles included Anna Owens in Anna and the King of Siam and Lavinia (Vinnie) Day in Life with Father. In 2001, she debuted on the Disney Channel show The Proud Family as a voice talent. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6440 Hollywood Blvd. The show starred Melissa Joan Hart --who, in another of those whacky Tinseltown coincidences, had auditioned for the part of Punky Brewster years before. She died of heart failure in Los Angeles, California at age 91, and is entombed in the Calvary Cemetery in East Los Angeles, California. She appeared in Sabrina the Teenage Witch as the coarse but sweet Roxy for several years. Irene Dunne (December 20, 1898 – September 4, 1990), born Irene Marie Dunn in Louisville, Kentucky, was an American film actress. Soleil married Jason Goldberg, a television producer and actor, in October 25, 1998.

I Remember Mama (1948). Soleil has the honor of being one of the youngest directors in Hollywood history, directing Wild Horses while still in her teens. Love Affair (1939). Oddly enough, she once auditioned for the show Charmed, a drama about a trio of witch sisters, which formerly featured another actress noted for tantrums and ego, Shannen Doherty. The Awful Truth (1937). In particular, on the set of the film "The Saint Tammany Miracle", Frye purportedly showed up late on multiple occasions, got into arguments with other actors, and at one point came in to work with a hangover. Theodora Goes Wild (1936). She began to acquire a reputation for being very difficult to work with.

Cimarron (1931). During her late teens and early adult years, Frye made appearances in several low-budget and independent films. After the true reason for the surgery was publicized many rumors died away. At 15, Soleil went "under the knife" to reduce back pain caused by growing abnormally large breasts for her age (Frye participated in a cover story for People Magazine discussing her health problems caused by the condition). During her teenaged years, stories surrounded a romance with Edward Furlong, and, more notably, a well-publicized breast reduction surgery.

Later billed a child star, Soleil soon was viewed by the public eye less for her accomplishments in television and film and more for spectacular tabloid headlines. The show aired on NBC and in syndication for many years during the 1980s. Frye first found popularity at age 8, when she starred as Punky Brewster, the title character of a television sitcom. She was born to Virgil Frye]] and Sondra Peluce.

There is no public record or statement of Soleil's cardiac condition being threatened in any manner, nor was her condition terminal.. The reduction mammaplasty was performed due to a life-threating breast disease that threatened to harm her heart. Without a further discussion on body proportions, all augmentation was due to puberty..

As a young teenager, Soleil's breasts grew "out of proportion," leading many to think she had gotten breast augmentation surgery. (She attended New School University in New York for one year only.). She is now a medical doctor who practices in veterinary medicine.
