Jennifer Grey was born on March 26, 1960 in New York, New York, USA. She is the daughter of broadway actor Joel Grey. Jennifer Grey made a tremendous hit in the movie "Dirty Dancing." Before she starred in this, she played Matthew Broderick's sister in the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." She did many movies after this but unfortunately her success from "Dirty Dancing" did not continue in the movies that were to follow.
Grey had a nose job done in the early 90's, but the surgery did not go well and she had to have a follow-up surgery done to fix her nose again. Her new look changed her very much, and even some of her friends did not recognize her. After her surgery she did many TV movies and also appeared in "Bounce" starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck.
Jennifer Grey was formerly engaged to Matthew Broderick and also to Johnny Depp in 1990. She is now with Clark Gregg, who is an actor and director. Grey and Gregg had their first daughter Stella on December 3rd, 2001.

I think Jennifer Grey made a huge mistake when she got her nose fixed. She had a distinct look and when she changed her face, it changed her career for the worse. Too bad because she is a talented actress. 'Dirty Dancing' is one of my favorite movies of all time.

It's too bad that Jennifer Gray doesn't seem to be in the public eye any longer, I always thought she was a good actress. I think her best work was in "Dirty Dancing", but I thought she also did well in "Feris Builers Day Off". I wonder if she knew that her career would go to the dumps after getting the nose job, maybe she didn't really care about acting anymore though?

I don't think she expected the surgery to change her looks so drastically. I've heard her comment that after she had plastic surgery, she never looked like "herself" again. I'll bet she has some regret over doing it and didn't expect the results she got. She probably just wanted to be herself, only a bit better.

I loved her in Dirty Dancing, but I've never seen her in any other movies. I did see her once on some talk show, and I didn't recognize her, she looked so different. I liked her old nose better. She doesn't look bad now, but she doesn't look unique.

Last I saw her, she was on a sitcom on regular broadcast television. I know it didn't air very long but she looked great! I am sorry, I do not remember the name of the show.

Thank you for the interesting facts on her! I have seen her in a couple of things but nothing very popular. At least not like those two movies. You would think that with the success of those two movies and the success that many of the actors from those movies had, that she would be a big time actress by now.
