Jennifer Grey Opens Up About Plastic Surgery, Patrick Swayze & Former Loves | PEOPLE
/ people
I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Grey at the _Stand and Deliver_ Los Angeles premier in 1988. She'd already had tremendous success with _Dirty Dancing_ when we crossed paths at a lavish food table. She admitted that the paparazzi made her nervous but since she wasn't in the movie being premiered, she was less so. Nonetheless, she suggested we find a corner table away from the premier madness. There we had a very pleasant conversation during which I couldn't help being impressed at how down to earth she was. She was very endearing often deflecting topics centering on her to questions about me and my experiences thus far in Hollywood. She could not have been sweeter. 💋
I think she is beautiful both ways and owes nobody an explanation. I wish I could see her in more projects. I’ve always adored her ❤️
Tall house The projects dried out because her appearance changed.
It’s so obvious her father Joel Grey had a nose job, because he had an ethnic nose and changed his last name.
Jennifer Grey was way more attractive with her god given nose.
I agree!!👍 Jennifer doesn’t owe anyone any explanation….it’s really unbelievable that people felt they had the right to judge her appearance- I mean, PLEASE! She looks great both ways but it’s no one’s business in any case.
@@PQ_Mont2021 she's hot either way
I couldn’t agree more. She’s absolutely amazingly awesome. I love people who are like her. It’s awesome to see how at Peace she is with everything including who she is as a person. You just don’t see that very often and it’s very inspiring. May God Bless her in all ways every day🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
I loved the movies during that time in the late 80's early 90's. The sound tracks were awesome. I was just a kid but miss that. I wanna read this book!!
Wow, I'm listening to this interview with just such amazement at Jennifer's self awareness. She's just incredibly self-aware and lucid about her journey through life which is a very rare thing. It takes a willingness to really look and she's done that. I can't help but be struck by the fact that her rhinoplasty back in the 80s was such an uproar but today it's unbelievably common and probably wouldn't have even been a hiccup in her career! Look forward to reading her book. And I have to say this is the kind of interview you'd like to see more often: instead of listening to an interviewer asking a bunch of inane and superficial questions they just let the person talk at length, sharing with such insight and depth which is far more satisfying than a bunch of silly questions about their workout routine, what they eat, etc!

Did we watch the same interview?
I heard lots of random babbling and trying to sound excessively deep and it sounded rehearsed.
Nothing natural about it.
@@amandallawrence5792 4?
Wow
She should have had that ugly nose fixed before Dirty Dancing. It was such a distraction.😂
I read Jennifer’s book and really enjoyed it. I honestly felt really bad for her and at the same time furious about for her about the nose job debacle. It’s a classic example of the ridiculous beauty standards women are held to, especially in Hollywood. Jennifer never wanted a nose job but was pushed into it after dirty dancing when her career wasn’t taking off the way Patrick’s was. She went and got a very minimal nose job just to tweak her nose and if you look at pictures it was done really well. It looked better but wasn’t a drastic change. But then complications developed that forced her to get another corrective surgery and that is when her appearance was completely altered. The movie industry pushed her into plastic surgery and then abandoned her when she was no longer “recognizable” It’s really sad and unfair. I admire her strength in sharing her story.
Oh brother WHO CARES ITS A NOSE JOB
It's her nose, you have to feel bad for her.
She's all broken up about the deal
didn't recognize her. that's all. it's weird how something so small can make such a difference.
I don't think Jennifer really stood a chance against Patrick as a formidable dancer
and at the same time very expressive, even though she played the female lead.
I think he was just more charismatic than she was at the time.
It had nothing to do with her nose.
С новым носом она стала ещё прекраснее, очень жаль что все так обернулось против неё, это очень странно, не предугадаешь...
She has great energy. I agree that the tension between her and Swayze translated well into heat onscreen.
She was one of my favorites when I was younger, I see natural beauty and Jennifer was the rare unique natural beauty not very often seen. It's great what shes doing because inner beauty is far more explosive than outer beauty and the messages she is sending is what needs to go out. Although I loved Dirty Dancing, WIND was my favorite movie with her.
Jennifer Grey explains her journey throughout her career and how it's all come together for her. She continue to learn about her life as it develops as time goes on as it does for us all. I can't wait to read her new book I'm excited!
I’m glad to have listened to her side of things. I, like many people, thought she was such an incredible unique & natural beauty with her nose, and wished she’s kept it...judged her a bit for doing it. I hope her story helps other girls love their own uniqueness and not feel like they need surgery or to look a certain way.
I too, would have loved to have watched her in more films. She’s a wonderful actress.
She still looks very natural and beautiful. These Hollywood stars look horrible these days with their botox, lip, breast and butt augmentations. They look like monsters. Jennifer still looks like herself.
60 Years old! She aged beautifully!
she is amazing! beautiful, inside and outside. such an interesting woman with so much self reflection, truly authentic 💝
I just love her! I love her in the movie Dirty Dancing and I love her in real life. She's beautiful in all phases of her life and story.
Jennifer is just so naturally beautiful
I have hypoxia brain injury I died 26minutes spent weeks months in coma rehab hospital learning talk walk again been a recovery massive discovery never ever give up on yourself many will never yourselves keep going doing amazing things never give up Jennifer never sending luck hugs love from UK takecare xxx
I’m 20 years younger and I’m jealous because she’s stunning. It is just human nature to get bogged down in what others think and wanting things to be perfect. Letting that go is absolutely a daily struggle. I love her attitude.
Aaaaah!!! JENNIFER! I can’t wait to read the book. That chin scratch and proclamation of imperfection is the most beautiful explanation for the book. I’ve been watching since DD and I am excited to hear your truth. Thank you for sharing it.
I still see the same sparkle in her eyes... wow the voice has changed so much too
Sure she looks different after her plastic surgery, but who cares? It looks perfectly natural and she is still a stunning woman.
She was so beautiful before plastic surgery
I completely agree! 😢
She did it for her. She says she felt beautiful after but it ruined her career. Today every second person has surgery & fillers & Botox and it’s RARE not to. We live in a sad shallow world
@@darnitthelma4247 It did not ruined her career, probably her then publicist did because he mishandled the whole nose job episode poorly. Anyway, that it wasn't the problem. She just rose to another level of stardom and that can bring you side effect costs at times. The same happened to Julia Roberts after "Pretty Woman".
@@SmartRobot-wc2fb I disagree. it did ruin her career she didn’t get roles! Julia did and still does.
I’ve always liked Jennifer, Gray and now she’s saying except me for what I am and I love that. Do as you will Jenn there’s only one you.
She’s so pretty and always has been ✨
I don't think there was anyone else for that part other than Jennifer Grey. He fell in love with her heart and the onscreen chemistry between them was so good! I've lost count of how many times I've watched this movie, and it's still great in 2024! Patrick Swayze and John Travolta, them best dancers in my life time! ♥️
@beverleyroberts1025
They had (supposedly) burning passions during filming of their previous film they did together, Red Dawn.
Acting or not, I absolutely swoon over how she says "I'm scared of walking out of this room knowing I'll never feel again, the way I feel when I'm with you!" 🤪🤪🥰🥰
As a teenager, I wanted to look like her! I wanted to definitely be her in DD! Jennifer you were beautiful before the nose job and still are after! :)
Unapologetic. ❤️ You can hear it in her voice that she’s only telling us what she knows to be. She’s a very smart woman who understands the game of life. It’s fucked up that so many doors closed to her out of something that no one seems to bat an eyelash at now. We missed out on a true talent. Thanks Hollywood. Jerks. 🤨
Yep, and as Mel Gibson said - they were all a pack of pedophiles 👎
She fooled you!
This is just very interesting! Thank you, Jennifer!
this is so beautiful - I wish that she would have gotten more time in the spotlight
I love her. I kinda feel like her nose job changed the sound of her voice and her personality too. I feel for what she went through. Life takes you through some difficult places but you do become stronger.
She is stunning and amazing.....period.💗
62 and still looking amazing
She looks amazing!
Yes! Love yourself! Preach it girl! You do YOU, boo. I'd love to see her do action and adventure movies with some comedy as well. I wanna see more of her on the big screen. She's got such a calm demeanor about herself and seems like a lovely person to talk to. Good vibes 🙂👍❤
Though it was a short-lived series, her role on "It's Like, You Know" as an exaggerated version of herself was absolutely brilliant and hilarious.
Her energy is so interesting, fun and mysterious 😍
The car crash in Ireland was awful. The family of the victims must hate seeing Matthew Broderick yet he bought a holiday home nearby. Not cool
^^^THIS
She’s gorgeous, just like she was when she was pre surgery. But it’s weird, even with knowing about her nose job and seeing side by side, I almost can’t recognize her. I really feel for her, that must have been really difficult. I’ve enjoyed watching these interviews of her promoting her book. It’s making me want to read her book!
Jennifer Grey is beautiful and a great actress !
I can perfectly picture her on NETFLIX, HBO, or any other TV series these days.
I get a juvederm ad while watching this. "Well, isn't that Ironic?" In my Alanis Morrisette voice.
I can’t believe how many people are saying on here that she looks amazing at 62 and one even mentioned that meanwhile, women today are having excessive procedures done making them look horrible completely missing the fact that she looks like that because of the same procedures.
@@sarcasticallyrearranged I know!! Lol
Remembering her father Joel Gray, what a dancer, acting and dancing run in her family
I commend Jennifer Grey for being so transparent in talking about her experience with plastic surgery. I think a procedure that needs to be taken off the market and that is cool sculpting. This procedure has ruined the faces and it's created health issues for several models and actresses in the past few years. Please boycott cool sculpting.
What exactly is cool sculpting?
I hope her book is more coherent than what she's saying in this interview. OMG!
It’s poorly edited…or intentional
So we buy the book
Pills
I thought this interview was great and enjoyed it and her vibe!
did not know she and broderick dated but wow he sure does have a type
You were never imperfect and you are not imperfect now. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it all.
I love Jennifer Grey's energy and self acceptance. The longer you see her talking and movng the more of her that still resembles her before the nose job. I think too much was made about her nose job back when.
I could listen to her perspective on things all day
I don’t understand, her nose looks great before & after, there is absolutely nothing wrong with her looks! People are so cruel to criticize her, especially since she has always been gorgeous.
I think it's because everyone fell so in love with her as she was, then the nose job really changed her face and I think everyone just wished she didn't do it without understanding she didn't want it either, so it's a strange sense of loss maybe, she's beautiful to me before and after
She got famous after dirty dancing, but her career didn’t take off. So she got pushed into a nose job that made her unrecognizable = kind of making her "not famous" anymore and almost having to start from scratch. From my understanding. And that the characteristic that people could relate to and loved about her was suddenly gone.
I think she is having the last laugh ,her unique looks may have been cute when she was younger but probably wouldn't have aged well,but just look at her now ,she is stunningly beautiful and looks so much younger than she is,she kind of grew into her new nose sort of speak, it took some time.I would love to see more of her, I like this grown up Jennifer Grey.
she is still so gorgeous n very talented
I never knew Jennifer Grey got plastic surgery. I don't recognize her now since the Dirty Dancing movie years ago, but she looks even more beautiful than I remember.
Jennifer Grey what a great actor and she looks great
"Great" ...compared to who?
Lovely interview
I thought she was beautiful before her surgery and think she is still beautiful. I have always liked her I wish her only the best
Jennifer I thought you were beautiful when you were younger and I still think you are beautiful
Aaannnnd now I am in love with her.
She’s gorgeous!
Love Jennifer and her movies plus brilliant actress who cares about a nose.look at her talent
I think people who dont work in the entertainment business doesnt understand how not looking a certain way can cause you not to have work. Very sad I sure hope one day that will all change and Hollywood along with the music business will come to the realization that they are just people making the industry have them look like your average every day people.
She's 62?!? She looks incredible.
Lovely lady. Genuine.
She looks exactly the same as she did in The Road to Christmas (great Xmas movie, btw!) And that was in 2004 I think.
She looks great. Great for her.
She was way cuter before surgery
I admire you two from the time I was a child. I love ur movies and I am in love with ur dance. I love the music, it just seems so warm and nostalgic. Continue to be who you are.
Ohhhhhh girl, you were beautiful before the surgery and you are still beautiful today. ❤
Bella Mujer. Bella Actriz. Un icono. inolvidable. Eternamente estara en nuestros corazones. Dirty Dancing un clasico de una Diva.
Jennifer looks beautiful! Very interesting interview. I loved the book.
Very well said
love her candor
Love her💗
I wish she still had her original nose !
Who did the opening few minutes music
It’s not silent or invisible. She has had so much plastic surgery. That’s why she no longer looks like Jennifer Grey.
She also looks about 24 years old; it's absolutely amazing. I do wish she had not had her lovely nose altered, though.
@@christinepaige2575 she does not look 24. She looks maybe like a 55 year old who had plastic surgery, her face looks tight.
Jennifer I Really Think You Are A Very Beautiful Talented Blessed Actress God Bless You And Keep up to bring Great Enterainment As Long As You Are Able
I love this woman so much ❤
we never knew this we all just thought who knows your here and doing great !! good on you
Jennifer you were Beautiful then and NOW!!
She looks amazing
You are beautiful. Any way you are. A great person to look up to and try to be like.
So good, so comfortable in her skin she opted to cut and reshape portions of it.
I want her book.❤❤❤❤
In her interviews she tends to have this air about her like everything she’s saying is well rehearsed and so very carefully articulated. I’m truly not against her and want to like her but she’s putting something out there that is making it difficult. Where’s the down to earth person we once felt in her movie characters. Isn’t that some part of her? How about a spontaneous laughing snort every now and then. Everything doesn’t have to be so well defined and elegant. I think that’s what helps make the actors and actresses human and relatable is letting some flaw come through. Take Sandra Bullock for example, she gets it.
I'm guessing she is high maintenance...attractiveness to me goes way beyond a nose, or any other physical feature.
Right?! Doesn't feel like the same person anymore
It does sound like this interview is a well rehearsed performance.
It sucks what Hollywood did to her - forced to get a nose job .. I wish she could’ve held out .. such a beauty!!! Still!!!
I believe if she hadn’t had the cosmetic surgery, she could have been a very good character actor.
Being yourself is always Great Enough!! You just need to find better friends!!
And a better nose, just kidding
Ей крупно повезло, судьба дала ей шанс сниматься с Патриком и быть в его объятиях..!!!
There was no projection tho it's just that people fall in love with her through Dirty dancing and then she seemed like a totally different person but it was the same person so it was kind of weird. As she had started with her new nose no one would have said a thing. I love her tough she is a great actress and Dirty dancing is still one of my fav movie.
She’s looking better than ever !! I wish she kept her nose..
That’s dumb
@@aubreyjames8795 how ??
All i know she looks more beautiful than before and she has Je ne sais pas quoi that captivates❗
Beautiful both ways for sure, I was crushing so bad watching dirty dancing, every time I see it actually ❤
For someone who’s super thrilled with her looks, she sure has that SoCal pinched “too much work” look..
great book
She said it is not about her nose job , but she kept talking about it
She looks AMAZING for her age but idk why i LOVED her nose and was so bummed when she got rhinoplasty. She was so differently beautiful. The curly hair the nose idk it was just so unique. After the procedure she looked good but it felt off.
Let's be honest, she's much better-looking since she had the surgery ( the surgeon did a superb job) but the problem is she became unrecognisable afterwards ...She thought by having a plastic surgery she would have more professional opportunities in Hollywood but initially, she earned fame with her old looks... It is an interesting and rare case where the actress had a successful surgery ( she looks great!) but as a result her career flopped.
My favorite movie was WIND!
Jennifer grey ur a class act😁🇨🇦🇨🇦
Always beautiful stay strong stay safe takecare becareful out there dont let guards down sending hugs luck love from headway Nottingham UK takecare xxx
Matthew clearly likes a woman with a strong nose
True!!😊
Very likeable lady.
I think the appeal of Dirty Dancing was the working class boy meets elite class girl love affair that takes place. Something everyone can relate to as we made our way through highschool & the mine field of hooking up with others, outside our own class system, during the summer month vacations. Much like Grease that was popular for much the same reason. Basically elite goodie two shoes girl meets the working class cool boy and falls in love but have to hide it scenerio. The dancing was phenomenal in both movies but the over-acting left litte to be desired in my opinion. With that said, I still enjoyed both movies regardless and have rewatched them both, quite often, over the past 40 years. As far as musicals go, they both rank high up on my list of favorites to watch,
At that age, as teenagers, we didn't really understand the amount of bigotry that comes from the upper class, or that it even existed as it does, but we are certainly understanding it today as we witness the attack on the present day working class from these very same class of people in our society. The ironic thing is that many of these people originally grew up in working class families and have an urealistic view of the world as they live behind their iron gates, in paranioa, and seem to look down upon the rest of normal society. Fame & fortune have a funny way of doing that and for good reason, the world is a dangerous place. Movies are an escape from that reality. All would do well to leave politics out of it and stick to their craft. IMHO
I think she's incredible.
She was beautiful before and after she just looks like two different people.
