However, it wasn’t to be. Instead, a tragic accident changed everything, forcing her to turn her back on the film industry for good.
Decades later, Jennifer Grey, now 62, finally opened up about the terrible period in her life that left her scarred forever…
No big actors, not a well-known director, and overall a low-budget movie.
Yet, the very moment Dirty Dancing hit the big screen in August 1987, the producers and cast knew they’d accomplished something enormous.
For male lead Patrick Swayze, the success was instantaneous. He became a teen idol and sex symbol, going on to land roles in big movies like Ghost and Donnie Darko.
But his co-star Jennifer Grey wasn’t in a good place when the movie premiered and she soon disappeared completely. Amongst the hubbub and celebrations, Jennifer Grey was gone as quickly as she had appeared.
