“#Soleil Moon Frye Remembers ‘Weeping’ Hearing Never-Before-Released Voice Messages From Jonathan Brandis
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nIf you haven\u2019t seen the Hulu<\/strong> documentary Kid 90<\/em>, it\u2019s a real walk down memory lane for everyone who grew up in the \u201990s. And for its creator, Soleil Moon Frye<\/strong>, it was no different making it.<\/p>\n

The doc is the product of the\u00a0Punky Brewster<\/em> star\u2019s many candid recordings of her friends, who were basically a who\u2019s who of teen stars, including\u00a0Leonardo DiCaprio<\/strong>, Mark Wahlberg<\/strong>, Mark-Paul Gosselaar<\/strong>, Sara Gilbert<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n

And Jonathan Brandis<\/strong>.

For those of you who don\u2019t remember, Brandis was a hugely successful child star, known for his roles in It<\/em>,\u00a0The Neverending Story II<\/em>,\u00a0Ladybugs<\/em>,\u00a0Sidekicks<\/em>, and Seaquest: DSV<\/em> \u2014 but known mostly for being THE teen heartthrob in the early \u201990s. Sadly the star took his own life in 2003, at only 27 years of age.<\/p>\n

In Kid 90<\/em>, Soleil had so much to say about Jonathan \u2014 and had tons of recordings of her fallen friend, including old voicemails he\u2019d left her that she\u2019d just never recorded over for some reason. About filming the doc and reliving her friendship with Jonathan, she said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was incredible sitting in the edit bay listening to the audio recordings and watching the videos and weeping throughout the process. Jonathan [Brandis] and I would have this funny thing where we would fill up each other\u2019s voicemails. So he would leave me these 20-30 minute messages to fill up the tape on my machine, and then in the last 30 seconds be him sharing his true feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Awww!! Wow! We can only imagine how hard that must have been, albeit healing, to listen to his voice again. She added:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo hear those messages was a gift \u2014 and also it was incredibly painful. It was also so beautiful discovering footage that I didn\u2019t even know was there, like him coming to visit me after the hospital.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For those who don\u2019t know, Soleil had breast reduction surgery after non-stop body shaming. She continued about her generous friend, who left this world too soon:<\/p>\n

\u201cI certainly asked myself, \u2018Could I have been there more for my friends. Did I do enough?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How touching. And she went on to say, too, that doing this digging really helped her and was an incredibly therapeutic process. We can only imagine that, despite pulling up some ghosts from the past, there was much she was able to unravel, too.<\/p>\n
