American actress and writer born Moon Unit Zappa on September 28, 1967, in New York City. Eldest child of Frank and Gail Zappa. Best known for her 1982 vocal performance on her father's hit single "Valley Girl," delivering the satirical "Like, oh my god" monologue that became a defining text of 1980s teen culture.
Has pursued an acting and writing career rather than a primary music career, including the novels America the Beautiful (2001) and Earth to Moon (2024, a memoir about growing up in the Zappa household).
