Nearly four decades after “Dirty Dancing” became a cultural phenomenon, Jennifer Grey is once again drawing attention — this time on social media.
Grey, 65, who starred as “Baby” opposite Patrick Swayze’s Johnny in the 1987 hit film, shared swimsuit photos earlier this week from a getaway with her close friend, actress Tracy Pollan.
“Long overdue girls trip @tracy.pollan 🤍 giggled like we were back in high school,” Grey captioned the post.
Pollan also shared photos from the trip on her own Instagram page, writing, “Best time with my bestie @jennifergrey.”
Fans of the film flooded the comments section with supportive messages. “You’re one of a kind,” one follower wrote. Another added, “Baby, you’ll always be our favorite.” Others referenced the movie’s iconic line: “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”
“Dirty Dancing,” released 39 years ago, won multiple awards, including the Academy Award for best original song for “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” The film’s climactic lift scene remains one of its most memorable moments.
Grey was previously married to actor Clark Gregg. The couple announced their separation in July 2020 after 19 years of marriage.
“After 19 years together, we separated in January, knowing we’ll always be a family who loves, values and cares for each other,” they said in a joint statement at the time. “We recently made the difficult decision to divorce, but we remain close and are grateful for the life we’ve shared and the wonderful daughter we’ve raised.” They concluded the statement by writing, “P.S. Totally crying as we post this.”
Following the Oct. 7 attack, Grey addressed the events in an interview with ynet, comparing the tragedy to the Holocaust. She recalled watching the news with her 22-year-old daughter.
“I remember my daughter was at my house and I said, ‘Come, you need to see what’s happening,’” Grey said. “I said it was like the Holocaust.”
