In the early 1980s, Cates shared an apartment in Greenwich Village with her then boyfriend Stavros Merjos. She met him in 1979 after she went to her first night at Studio 54 with family friend Andy Warhol.

Cates’s acting debut was in Paradise (filmed in Israel from March to May 1981). In the movie she performed several nude scenes while still a minor (age 17). The movie had a plot similar to The Blue Lagoon. She also sang the film’s main theme song and recorded an album of the same name. In a 1982 interview, she recalled having trouble with the change of career, because as a model, she had to be conscious of the camera, whereas in front of the movie camera, she could not. Cates later regretted being in the movie and said, “What I learned was never to do a movie like that again.” According to her co-star Willie Aames, “She will have nothing to do with the film. She’s really upset about it. She won’t do any promotion with me.”
Her father Joseph Cates created the classic game show The $64,000 Question and was a Broadway producer. Her uncle Gilbert Cates was also a pioneer of early television. She married Kevin Kline in 1989 and she has a son named Owen and a daughter named Frankie.

In 1985, Cates appeared off-Broadway in Rich Relations, written by David Henry Hwang at the Second Stage Theatre. In 1994, she starred in the fact-based romantic comedy-drama Princess Caraboo.
Cates’s later film roles were more modest and largely oriented toward younger audiences, such as the two Gremlins films and the 1991 film Drop Dead Fred. Her face graced the covers of teen magazines such as Seventeen, Tiger Beat, Teen Beat, and others. In 1984, she starred in the TV mini-series Lace, based on a novel which Shirley Conran had written. She played the role of Lili “to get away from a sameness in her movie portrayals.” During her audition, she so impressed the writer that he wanted to hire her there and then. Cates struggled with the portrayal of a bitter movie star because, despite her character’s vicious persona, she intended for the audience to sympathize with her. She did not read Conran’s novel, on which the movie was based, because she did not want to have a “fixed image.” Her line in the film, “Which one of you bitches is my mother?” was named the greatest line in television history by TV Guide in 1993.
