Pamela Reed, best known for her role in the 1990 comedy 'Kindergarten Cop' alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, was seen running errands in Los Angeles this week. The 76-year-old actress wore a gray parka and black trousers, carrying a stylish black handbag, as she walked with her husband, director Sandy Smolan, and their dog.
Reed, who rose to fame in the 1980s with films such as 'The Right Stuff' and 'The Clan of the Cave Bear', played Detective Phoebe O'Hara in 'Kindergarten Cop'. She told Today that fans still stop her to talk about the film, often quoting her famous line: 'You're not so tough without your car, are you?'
Reflecting on the film's hilarious scene where her character pretends to be Schwarzenegger's sister with an Austrian accent, Reed revealed she practised by listening to him. 'I didn't want him to hear me do him ahead of time,' she said. 'When we actually went to shoot it, he was laughing so much, we had to do a billion takes.'
Reed praised Schwarzenegger as 'generous to a fault' and 'delightful'. The former California governor surprised the cast in 2020 for the film's 30th anniversary, saying the movie helped him become a better parent. Reed and Smolan have two adopted children, Reed and Lily. Her most recent on-screen role was in 2023's 'The Burial' with Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones.
