JENNIFER GREY KNOWS WHO HER FRIENDS ARE

Back in 1987 the much loved movie Dirty Dancing made Jennifer Grey a star overnight. She dated all the hot guys in Hollywood, but in the early 90’s she had a much talked about nose job that made her unrecognizable. Cute, but actually unrecognizable! In 2010 she proved she really CAN dance by winning Dancing with the Stars. Jennifer knows she owes a lot of her career to the Dirty Dancing choreographer, Kenny Ortega, and she made a sweet speech at Kenny’s Walk of Fame ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard. And she looks adorable…

JENNIFER GREY: THE TIME OF HER LIFE

It seems that Jennifer Grey’s biggest professional triumphs so far both involved dancing – “Dirty Dancing” in 1987 and “Dancing With The Stars” this week. The 50 year old Grey triumphed over much younger competitors including 20 year old Bristol Palin. We probably have Jennifer to thank for avoiding riots in the streets that might have happened if the less graceful Bristol had won. Jennifer and her little girl Stella, 9, arrived in New York for TV appearances.

ELVIS: IS JENNIFER GREY A TIME TRAVELER?

We never get tired of looking at old photos of young Elvis and this one is particularly noteworthy. It’s from photographer Alfred Wertheimer’s collection of photos taken in 1956 when Elvis was 21. According to Alfred, this photo was taken as Elvis arrived to appear on The Steve Allen Comedy Show and a fan from Long Island greeted him. HELL0 – is that fan not a dead ringer for Jennifer Grey? – in character for her movie “Dirty Dancing,” of course.
