'Dirty Dancing' trivia and fun facts

Remake

This new installment is about a television remake of the original 'Dirty Dancing' released in 1987.

Jennifer Gray

Jennifer Grey, who starred as Baby in 'Dirty Dancing' (1987), turned down a role in this remake of the original film. When asked her reasons for declining, Grey said: "I was asked to do something on that show and I was flattered because I always want to be asked because it's nice to want to be included. But for me, it would be sacrosanct for me to do it because it didn't feel appropriate to me. It feels like if you're going to do your own thing, do your own thing. I wouldn't say [what role was offered] but I will tell you, it wasn't Baby!"
