The iconic 1987 movie Dirty Dancing is a beloved classic that is nearly always at the top of people’s lists.
The film’s lead actor, the late Patrick Swayze, gained international recognition for his role in this beloved picture, and Jennifer Grey, who costarred with him, is still very much a part of its history.
Because she played “Baby” in Dirty Dancing, Jennifer Grey is well-known throughout the world. The narrative follows Baby and her family while they stay at a resort, highlighting her romantic encounter with Swayze’s disobedient dance teacher.
Many viewers have requested a sequel to this picture, which has quickly become a classic. Grey has only agreed to produce it—despite their demands—if a number of strict requirements are satisfied in order to respect Patrick Swayze and the film’s enduring popularity.
Years after the film’s release, Jennifer Grey was frequently asked about her experience working on Dirty Dancing. She acknowledged that she and Patrick Swayze had no relationship, but their physical appearances drew them together.
Lionsgate surprised everyone in April 2022 at Cinemacon by revealing their plans to create a sequel to the cult classic.
The next time Grey appeared was during an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show, where she discussed the idea for a future sequel.
Jennifer Grey recently talked about the upcoming Dirty Dancing sequel. She made it clear that when it came to offering the best possible flick, she would not make any exceptions.
She added that a few of the original cast members would be back in the movie. Furthermore, Johnny Castle, played by Patrick Swayze, will not have a successor; instead, his narrative and essence will be carried over into a different part in the follow-up.
Grey emphasized that the success of the movie depended on this difficult project.
When Patrick Swayze passed away in 2009, the entertainment industry and Jennifer Grey, his longtime co-star and companion, were devastated.
Despite their disagreements, Grey remarked after Swayze’s passing her deep sadness and remorse for not appreciating him more while he was still living.
In her memoirs, Out of the Corner, she paid a heartfelt homage to her past love, wishing she could have accepted him for who he was instead of expecting him to be someone else.
We wish Jennifer Grey all the best for her future goals, despite her tragic circumstances.

Barbara Eden was born Barbara Jean Morehead on August 23, 1931. Her first public performance was singing in the church choir which later led to her being part of different bands. She studies both singing and acting and turned to be very successful in both.
Her natural beauty brought her the title Miss San Francisco in 1951.
Her TV career started with The Johnny Carson Show in 1955 and continued with a number of series and movies. In I Dream of Jeannie, which is her most remarkable role, she played a genie set free from her bottle. The series aired for five years.
For her last birthday, an official Barbara Eden Instagram account shared a photo of her which left fans stunned by how she looks at that age.
It said, “We wish our favorite blonde, Rider of the Wild Surf, Voyager to the Bottom of the Sea, nemesis of the Harper Valley PTA and of course, the eternal Lady in the Bottle a very happy Birthday today!”
In 1988, Barbara received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to television.
In her memoir Jeannie Out of the Bottle, which was released in 2011, she speaks of her childhood, her fame in her 20’s, as well as her marriages and the tragedy of losing her son.
This year, the actress turned 92 and says she feels age is just a number. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, she says:“It’s like any other birthday, I’m just happy to be here.”
Barbara is still working and doesn’t plan to retire any time soon. “I was working up until the shutdown point last March,” she told the Hollywood Reporter.

What a wonderful time now, more actors are working than ever before with all of the companies like Netflix and Amazon, all of these movies and TV shows they are producing.”
“I feel young!” Barbara told Page 6, adding that she considered herself lucky. “I feel sorry for people like my poor father who had to work every day at something he didn’t like. I enjoy my work. I still work.”
Until a few years back, she kept going to the gym, participating in spin classes, and lifting weights. Nowadays, she works with a trainer at her home.
“I have a lot of friends,” the TV legend added. “I’m pretty active socially.”

“I’m a carnivore… I like steak. We eat a lot of pork, chicken, steak [and] vegetables.”
We all have to agree that Barbara looks awesome.
