JENNIFER GREY - GREY FEARED DIRTY DANCING DISASTER

GREY FEARED DIRTY DANCING DISASTER

Actress JENNIFER GREY was far from happy when she learned PATRICK SWAYZE would be her love interest in cult movie DIRTY DANCING because she hated working with the actor on a previous film.
Grey let it be known to producers that she had not enjoyed making Red Dawn with the movie hunk - and feared she and Swayze would not have the chemistry needed for the 1987 film.
Producer Linda Gottlieb recalls, "When Jennifer heard that Patrick was playing the part she was not a happy camper.
"They had performed together in Red Dawn and I gather that was not a wonderful working relationship.
"They had very different temperaments - Jennifer is a kind of spontaneous girl and she'd be very emotional; she would cry easily. Patrick is the exact opposite."
