Jennifer Grey posted some photos on Instagram from a beach trip she took with her friend Tracy Pollan.
The actress shared that she had a long-awaited girls’ trip with Tracy Pollan, saying they laughed like they were teenagers again. Jamie Lee Curtis liked the post.
The 65-year-old actress looked fit and slim, showcasing her figure in both a black bikini and a swimsuit.
Clark Gregg’s former wife styled her light brown hair in loose, natural curls, completing the look with black sunglasses and gold necklaces.
Nearly four decades have passed since Joel Grey’s daughter appeared in the hit film Dirty Dancing, alongside the celebrated actor Patrick Swayze.
She recently announced she’s returning to play Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman in a new version of the 1987 movie.
Grey shared with People that playing Baby has been a deeply meaningful experience, not just for her, but for many fans over the years.
I’ve often thought about what happened to Baby and what her life became, but it took a while to find the right team to continue the story of the first film. I’m happy to announce that we’re finally ready to share the next chapter.
Before her breakout role in Dirty Dancing, Jennifer Grey had already appeared in several films, including Red Dawn (1984), The Cotton Club (1984), and as Matthew Broderick’s sister in the 1986 comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
Later, she was cast in Bloodhounds of Broadway (1989) and Bounce (2000).
Following those projects, he appeared in Redbelt (2008), The Wind Rises (2013), In Your Eyes (2014), and Bittersweet Symphony (2019). His most recent work is A Real Pain (2024).
Born in New York City, she is the daughter of Jo Wilder, a former actress, and Joel Grey, an Academy Award-winning actor.
I always say your school years shape so much of who you become, and mine were no exception! It was at the Dalton School in New York City, while I was studying dance and acting, that I met one of my dearest friends, the wonderful Tracy Pollan. You might know her as Michael J. Fox’s wife – she’s incredibly talented and a joy to be around!
Next, she enrolled at Manhattan’s Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre for two years.
Jennifer Grey started her career at 19 with a Dr Pepper commercial. She then appeared in small roles in the films Reckless (1984) and Francis Ford Coppola’s The Cotton Club.
She appeared in the war movie Red Dawn that year, and followed it up with American Flyers in 1985, directed by John Badham.
In 1986, she played the role of jealous sister Jeanie Bueller in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
The next year, she worked with Patrick Swayze again. They had previously starred together in Red Dawn, but this time it was for Dirty Dancing, which became her most well-known film.
She had a nose job in the early 1990s that dramatically changed her appearance. Many people felt it was a regrettable decision that ultimately led to the decline of her career.
‘I went in the operating room a celebrity – and came out anonymous,’ she once said.
Grey competed on Season 11 of Dancing With the Stars, partnering with Derek Hough, and together they were the winners.
In September 2011, she played the role of Iris Garvey, Zack Garvey’s mother, in the Lifetime movie Bling Ring.
From 2014 to 2017, she portrayed Judy Meyers on Red Oaks.
The actress recently spoke with Red Online about returning to acting. She explained that it’s easy to become cynical after being in the industry for a long time.
I never really dreamed of moving to Hollywood and becoming famous. That wasn’t something I ever pictured for myself.
‘I always knew that it was tough, and I also saw that it was possible.’
She resolved to ‘be really good’, and took dance classes and singing lessons.
‘It really showed me craft,’ she said.
‘Because sometimes you don’t need techniques; sometimes it’s just easy. But sometimes you need it.
The better prepared, more confident, and better equipped you are, the higher your chances of success.
Her love life has also been high-profile, involving big Hollywood actors.
One was her Ferris Bueller’s Day Off co-star Broderick.
In 1987, the couple were in a car collision in Northern Ireland.
Broderick drifted into oncoming traffic and caused a direct collision with another car. Tragically, the driver and her daughter were both killed on impact.
He was convicted of careless driving. Grey later said that she had survivor’s guilt over the crash.
She went on to date several prominent figures, including actors Michael J. Fox, Johnny Depp, and William Baldwin, as well as television personality and political advisor George Stephanopoulos.
Jennifer Grey and actor/director Clark Gregg got married in 2001. They have one daughter, Stella Gregg, who is currently 24 years old.
The couple co-starred in the Lifetime movie The Road to Christmas in 2006.
They separated amicably in January 2020 and their divorce became final in February 2021.
