[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. It's Jennifer Grey. Not Linda.
2. Her father was Joel Grey. She knows a thing or two about dancing.

If you look at her posture and arm carriage, you can tell she has some innate talent, but was not well-trained. This made her a very convincing Baby.

The girl in the remake didn't "improve" at all throughout the movie. She may have learned the steps, but she still couldn't dance.

I understand the shades of gray/grey confusion.  Linda Gray was on Dallas.  Erin Grey was on Buck Rogers.

I do think Jennifer Grey had some prior dancing experience.  I thought she was perfect for the role, and I miss her original nose too.  My point was that it's tricky finding actors that dance or dancers who can act.  It's also hard for many trained dancers to over ride their years of training to look less good than they are if they are playing someone who is learning to dance.

Jennifer Grey was very giggly, and I think it annoyed Patrick Swayze a bit, which affected their on screen chemistry:

I didn't see the remake and don't plan on it.  It's not the actress' fault she couldn't improve on it.  It wasn't in need of a re-make.
