Trivia / Punky Brewster (2021)

• Actor-Shared Background: Soleil Moon Frye is also a single mother of four, just like Punky.
• Produced by Cast Member: Soleil Moon Frye also serves as an executive producer.
• The Character Died with Him: As George Gaynes and Susie Garrett have since passed away, Punky's adoptive father Henry and Cherie's grandmother Betty are stated to have likewise died. Henry's picture is prominently displayed in many scenes in Punky's apartment.
  • The same is, by extension, true of Brandon - both the faithful dog (actually, in real life, a female named Sandy) and the man for whom he was named, onetime NBC Entertainment president Brandon Tartikoff. However, Brandy, Punky's new dog, is the same breed and is implied to be his descendant.
