Jennifer Grey on family, films and feeling great
Jane’s guest today is Jennifer Grey, the iconic actress whose career has spanned more than three decades. Her portrayal of Baby in the beloved classic Dirty Dancing earned her a Golden Globe nomination for best actress. She has also starred in the John Hughes comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and in scores of movies and TV shows. Most recently, she appeared in the acclaimed Amazon series Red Oaks, and she is currently teaming up with Lionsgate on their long-awaited sequel to Dirty Dancing, which she will both star in and executive produce. On today’s segment, Jennifer talks about her father, the legendary actor, singer and dancer, Joel Grey, and grandfather, the renowned musician and comedian, Mickey Katz. She also discusses her secrets for longevity and resilience, her stress reducers, and her everyday mantras that keep her sane and centered. And just as life is known to imitate art—Jennifer’s fictional brother Ferris skipped high school for some much needed me time—Jennifer is also getting her shot at a “me day.” Indeed, she is supporting Flu Shot Fridays. A collaboration between American Nurses Association (ANA) and Sanofi Pasteur, this educational campaign is designed to drive awareness of the importance of flu vaccinations. Listeners will come away feeling Better Than Before on all fronts.
