Princess Caraboo (1994)

Based on a true story, Phoebe Cates is the title character, a young woman who is found wandering in a field in 1800s England and is thought to be an exotic princess. Local aristocrats take to her as if she were a rock star and it all is incredibly far-fetched. It’s fun watching the rich snobs copy the costumes and mannerisms of the princess. Despite any shortcomings the story may have (it’s entertaining but a bit slow), Cates is fantastic in the role. The vast majority of her scenes require her to speak gibberish, feign misunderstanding of those around her, and emoting everything else.
