Jennifer Grey mini-bio: Born in New York City, Jennifer Grey is the daughter of stage and screen actor Joel Grey and the granddaughter of comedian and musician Mickey Katz. She is an alumna of The Dalton School, an elite private school in Manhattan, and studied both dance and acting. Her commercial debut was at the age of 19, in an ad for the Dr Pepper soft drink. After other small roles, she landed the part of angry sister Jeanie in the hit 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The following year she reunited with Patrick Swayze, whom she had played opposite in Red Dawn, for her biggest role ever, Frances "Baby" Houseman in Dirty Dancing. In the early 1990s, Grey submitted to a rhinoplasty that was so botched she required a second plastic surgery to repair the damage. The result was a face so altered that even close friends failed to recognize her, and the major change in her appearance negatively impacted her career. Of the experience she said, "I went in the operating theatre a celebrity - and come out anonymous. It was like being in a witness protection program or being invisible."[1] She briefly considered starting over with a new name to go with the new face, Wanda West, but then stuck with her original name. Grey also appeared with Shirley Maclaine, Liza Minnelli, and Kathy Bates in the CBS television movie The West Side Waltz, adapted by Ernest Thompson from his play, an episode of Friends, and she had a small role in the 2000 film Bounce with Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck. Her sole Broadway theatre credit is The Twilight of the Golds (1993). Following engagements to Matthew Broderick and Johnny Depp, Grey married actor/director Clark Gregg (The New Adventures of Old Christine) on July 21, 2001, and their daughter Stella was born in December of that year. The couple co-starred in the Lifetime movie Road to Christmas. Grey has recently appeared as Daphne, Meyer's fiancee, on the HBO series John From Cincinnati.

I am working on a new show celebrating the 20th anniversary of Dirty dancing. I am looking for die hard fans who have a story to tell. It may be that you are planing a Dirty Dancing event, you may have had a DD theme wedding, your children may have been named after Baby and Johnny or perhaps you've got a house full of memorabilia. Whatever your story, please get in touch if you're based in the UK or USA, we'd love to hear from you.

Email me at blinktemp@blinktelevision.co.uk with your story before August 15th 2007.
