Jennifer Grey on Swayze and Dirty Dancing

Jennifer Grey recently reflected on her experiences working with Patrick Swayze in both 'Red Dawn' and 'Dirty Dancing'. In 'Red Dawn', Grey recounts filming a sex scene with Swayze, who was drunk and nervous, leading to the scene being cut from the final film. Despite initial tensions with Swayze, they reconciled during 'Dirty Dancing', a film Grey was initially apprehensive about due to its low budget and explicit scenes. Her decision to join was influenced by director Emile Ardolino's unique vision and Swayze's sincere apology for past unprofessional behavior. The film's success was unexpected, given its modest $4.5 million budget and Grey's concerns it might be perceived as a 'glorified porno'. Grey praised Ardolino for contributing significantly to the film's authenticity and success.
