But that was not to be. Rather, a catastrophic tragedy
changed everything, forcing her to permanently leave the film industry.
After many years, sixty-two-year-old Jennifer Grey finally spoke
up about the traumatic experience that left her permanently traumatized.
It’s a low-budget picture with no big stars or well-known directors.
However, the producers and cast of Dirty Dancing realized they had accomplished
something big when the film aired in theaters in August 1987.
Patrick Swayze, who played the lead, achieved immediate success.
He rose to prominence as a teenage idol and icon before going
on to appear in notable films like Ghost and Donnie Darko.
However, Jennifer Grey, his co-star, wasn’t feeling well when the film debuted,
and she quickly vanished from view. Jennifer Grey vanished as swiftly as
she had appeared, lost in the commotion and festivities.
