The journey of Jennifer Grey, famed for “Dirty Dancing,” has been eventful in both her professional and personal spheres.

Following the triumph of “Dirty Dancing,” Jennifer’s acting momentum tapered in the 1990s. Nevertheless, she landed memorable roles, like portraying Rachel’s pal Mindy in “Friends” and making a guest spot on “House.”

 

In 2010, partnered with dancer Derek Hough, Jennifer clinched victory on the US series “Dancing With The Stars.” Additionally, she stepped in as a guest judge on “Strictly Come Dancing.”

Jennifer hails from a renowned family. Her father, Joel Grey, earned prestigious awards including the Academy, Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Tony Awards for his portrayal as the Master of Ceremonies in “Cabaret,” a role starring Liza Minnelli on Broadway and in the 1972 film adaptation.

Over the years, Jennifer Grey’s appearance notably changed following a controversial nose job in the early 1990s. She attributes the procedure to negatively impacting her career by significantly altering her face. In 2012, expressing regret, she lamented, “I entered as a known face and emerged unrecognizable. It was a disastrous nose job. I’ll forever be this once-famous actress no one remembers because of it.”

At 60, Jennifer Grey has surpassed 33 years since the release of “Dirty Dancing” in 1987. Playing Baby Houseman at 26 earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination for the iconic role.

In her personal life, Jennifer has been in the spotlight for her relationships with Johnny Depp and her “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” co-star, Matthew Broderick. Presently, she’s married to actor Clark Gregg, recognized for playing Agent Coulson in Marvel Avengers movies and “Agents of Shield.” They tied the knot in 2001 and share a daughter named Stella.
