Jennifer Grey – Born in 1960, Dirty Dancing

Jennifer Grey’s debut in the romantic drama film “Reckless” wasn’t all that remarkable. She had a minor role that gave the audience no hint about the depth of her talents. But all that changed in 1986 when she landed her breakthrough role playing the jealous sister in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

Top that off with her portrayal of ‘Frances Houseman’ in “Dirty Dancing.” Then you’ll probably understand why she had an entire generation of teenagers obsessed with her. After winning the 11th season of “Dancing with the Stars,” Grey when on to star in “Red Oaks” before taking on a voice role in “Duck Duck Goose.”
