Jennifer Grey is not distress that “Dirty Dancing,” the film that made her a household name, is being remade. In fact, she’s “excited” about it.
The artist who played good girl gone Patrick Sway zed, Baby Houseman, tweeted her support: “I love and trust that he will do something special.” Lions gate announce it would remake the classic film with unique choreographer Kenny Ortega directing.
I’m so animated about this news and I think there’s nobody better to do this than my favorite Kenny Ortega who is as in charge as anyone for the success of the first one. I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do with it.
I’m sorry, Jennifer Grey, but the correct answer is, “No! This is a travesty! Ahhhh!” Celebritology’s Jen Chaney felt that way, asking, “Is there any way this is remotely a good idea???”
Readers decided with Chaney: 86 percent of our poll takers thought the remake is “The worst idea I’ve ever heard.” A paltry 6 percent were for the idea. Apparently, you’re in good company of 6 percent of Celebritology readers.
