You're 100% right.

Phoebe Cates is like the anti-Instagram girl. Pretty, but no filter added. Nothing fake. No face painted on with makeup.

And yeah, she legit DID look like one of the hottest girls you'd actually know, and that scene with Judge Reinhold is perfectly written to capture that awkward feeling of having the hots for some girl from school that you had no shot with.

That's why it's burned into our brains...everyone one of us imagined our own Linda Barrett exactly that way from the moment we saw that scene.
