Punky Brewster star Soleil Moon Frye knows the best way to celebrate Valentine’s Day is with a dip in the pool.
The successful actress and documentarian, 49, grew up in the public eye as everyone’s favorite foster child on the iconic TV series, which followed a little girl abandoned in a store by her mother. Punky Brewster follows the little girl, who is taken in with her golden retriever, Brandon, by her foster parent, Henry Warnimont, a grouchy older man in Chicago. Punky soon warms his heart and turns his world around.
In real life, Frye is all grown up and looking better than ever. The star spent Valentine’s Day soaking up the sun in a red bathing suit and black sunglasses. Blowing a kiss to the camera, the curvy beauty didn’t let the winter blues get her down.
“Love & kisses to all. Xx,” Frye captioned her photo set.
