Biography

Recent Role:
Season 11 - Celebrity Dancer on Dancing With the Stars
Gender:
Female
Born:
3-26-1960
Birthplace:
New York, New York, USA
This pert, curlyhaired daughter of actor-singer-dancer Joel Grey opened moviegoers' eyes as the lovesick, ugly-duckling teenager who blossoms (under Patrick Swayze's able tutelage) in Dirty Dancing (1987), a boxoffice sleeper. Following in the family footsteps, Grey started acting in the early 1980s, landing supporting roles in Reckless, The Cotton Club, Red Dawn (all 1984), and American Flyers (1985), before making her mark in the teen comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) as the put-upon sister of Matthew Broderick (with whom she was once linked romantically). The following year, DirtyMore Dancing was a tremendous hit, and suddenly everyone knew who Jennifer Grey was. Inexplicably, she seemed unable to capitalize on that success in subsequent films; she has since appeared on the big screen infrequently, in such misguided efforts as the barely released Runyonesque travesty, Bloodhounds of Broadway (1989) and the sailing saga Wind (1992).

    Jennifer Grey is an amazing person. She shows true emotion when she is dancing and she really gets into the song and the part that she has to play to sell the dance to the judges. hide show

    She has real emotions in her dancing and really feels the music as she is dancing. She is an amazing person doing all of this after having surgery on her neck and winning the battle with cancer. I give her a perfect 30 just for the strength that she has. Everytime I watch her dane I feel like I am right there with the dancers feeling every movement and every beat of the dance when I am watching Jennifer and Derek. They are on of the best couples I have seen in a long time on the show and I can't wait to see more of them this next week!

    Jennifer Grey is sexy! hide show

    I first notice Jennfer Grey in 1986 in the film "Ferris Bueller's Day Office." She comes across as very sexy and beautiful. Later I caugh her in the film "Dirty Dancing." Even since then, I was lovestruck with the actress. I wrote her a couple of letter to her because I find hber to be not only beautiful but sexy. I was heartbroken when she got married a few years ago and I can't write to her again. But I still think her from time to time. I haven't see her as of late, but I'm thinking of her. Big nose or not, she is very sexy.
