The success of the film launched Patrick Swayze to stardom, but the same did not happen with Jennifer Grey,

More than three decades after its release, “Dirty Danicing” is considered a classic of the ’80s and one of the most successful movies of all time.

Set in 1963, it tells the story of teenage Frances “Baby” Houseman (played by Jennifer Grey), who has a hot summer affair with dance instructor Johnny Castle, played by Patrick Swayze.

“Dirty Dancing” grossed more than $214 million worldwide and won an Oscar for the song “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.”

Audiences fell in love with the characters, the music, and the iconic dance routines, including the famous “lift up.”
