LEAGUE OF THEMSELVES - JENNIFER GREY


JENNIFER GREY

AS SEEN IN:
'It's Like, You Know...'

TV DIMENSION:
Earth Prime-Time




From Wikipedia:
Jennifer Grey (born March 26, 1960) is an American actress known for her roles in the 1980s films "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Dirty Dancing", the latter for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. She is also known for her 2010 victory in the eleventh season of the American version of 'Dancing with the Stars'. Grey is the daughter of Academy Award-winning actor Joel Grey and former actress/singer Jo Wilder.

In the early 1990s, Grey underwent two rhinoplasty procedures–the second of which was necessary to correct problems stemming from the first–that resulted in a nose that caused even close friends to fail to recognize her, and the major change in her appearance negatively affected her career. Of the experience she said, "I went in the operating room a celebrity – and came out anonymous. It was like being in a witness protection program or being invisible." She briefly considered changing her name in order to start her career anew, but ultimately decided against this.

From March 1999 until January 2000 Grey starred as herself in the short-lived ABC sitcom 'It's Like, You Know...', which satirized her much-publicized nose job as a running gag.

BCnU!
