Jennifer Grey Turns Heads With Her Youthful Looks Almost 40 Years After ‘Dirty Dancing’

Jennifer Grey does not seem to have aged at all since the time she received the Golden Globe Award nomination 36 years ago for her brilliant performance in Dirty Dancing. The actress was recently spotted during the premiere of A Real Pain, and fans couldn’t get over her youthful and gorgeous look.

Earlier this year, Jennifer shared tips on maintaining daily beauty while attributing her youthful appearance to the fact that she strictly maintains a daily beauty regimen. She named several body creams and hydrating masks that have kept her skin radiant and smooth. Truthfully, her recent jaw-dropping appearance is a testament to that.

Jennifer has been concerned about her looks for decades now, and it seems she isn’t relenting on that anytime soon.  Following her career breakthrough with her role in Dirty Dancing, she was worried about what her future gigs would be as she didn’t want to get stereotyped to a particular role because of her looks.

The 64-year-old consulted a plastic surgeon in the early 90s and had two nose jobs done to appear more aesthetically appealing to increase her chances of landing acting gigs. Sadly, the surgery didn’t go as planned, as Jennifer’s look was altered to the extent that her friends couldn’t recognize her, and this also impacted her career at the time. However, she lived through it until she achieved her desired look, and she couldn’t be more proud of herself.

Jennifer also felt the need to fix her beautiful curly hair as she grew older when she noticed that it had started thinning. She consulted her stylist and applied some hair products for treatments, and this brought about commendable changes.

Jennifer Grey’s accident that nearly ruined her career

Aside from Jennifer’s determination to maintain good looks, her life experience so far has been a blend of the good and bad, but the actress remains undaunted as she looks on the bright side of what the future holds for her. Shortly before the release of Dirty Dancing in 1987, Jennifer and Matthew Broderick were involved in a fatal car accident in Ireland that claimed the lives of two people and nearly cost Jennifer her acting career as she battled painful headaches that persisted for many years.

Jennifer finally healed of her pain in 2009 and participated in season seven of Dancing with the Stars the following year. Unbelievably, she became the oldest contestant to receive the trophy and was asked to be a judge on a similar show, Strictly Come Dancing in 2011.
