Dirty Dancing Star Jennifer Grey, 65, Wows Fans With Gorgeous Swimsuit Look
Jennifer Grey recently gave her fans a peek into her life with a series of photos from a beach trip with her longtime best friend, Tracy Pollan. The pictures, which quickly went viral, show the two actresses laughing and relaxing on the sand like teenagers.
Grey looked effortlessly confident in a simple black bikini and a one-piece swimsuit, earning praise from fans and celebrity friends, including Jamie Lee Curtis, who left a supportive comment on the post.
The trip was a long-overdue chance to catch up, Grey said. “We giggled like we were back in high school,” she shared. Their friendship goes way back to their days at the Dalton School in New York City, and despite the ups and downs of Hollywood, their bond has remained strong.
Of course, whenever Jennifer Grey is mentioned, fans immediately think of her iconic role as Frances “Baby” Houseman in the 1987 hit Dirty Dancing. Recently, Grey confirmed that a sequel is officially in the works. She will not only star in the film but also serve as an executive producer to help protect the story’s legacy.
Grey explained that it took time to find the right creative team because the character of Baby is so meaningful to her. “I wanted to make sure the new story was in the hands of people who could honor the original film,” she said. She also acknowledged that no one can replace her late co-star, Patrick Swayze.
Beyond Dirty Dancing, Grey has a long history of memorable roles, including her part in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. She also won a season of Dancing with the Stars, proving she still has the moves that made her famous. Despite a career slowdown after a nose job in the early 90s, Grey has steadily returned to meaningful work, earning praise for her performance in the 2024 film A Real Pain.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the Dirty Dancing sequel. Lionsgate recently announced that production will officially begin later this year, with a script written by Kim Rosenstock and Jonathan Levine set to executive produce. Grey has been keeping fans updated, saying she’s focused on getting every detail right to make sure the new movie captures the magic of the original.
Do you think the Dirty Dancing sequel can live up to the original without Patrick Swayze, or should the classic have remained a standalone film? Share your thoughts in the comments.
