Speaking with E! News recently, the actress said she and Patrick Swayze “never rehearsed” the now-iconic end scene in which Swayze’s Johnny Castle lifts her character Frances “Baby” Houseman in the air during their final dance number.
< “There was no room for a panic attack,” said Grey, 63, of filming the famous moment in the 1987 romance with Swayze, who died in 2009 at age 57 from pancreatic cancer. The actress recalled to E! News that she gave a “hard no” to running through the move ahead of time, as she was “really scared and protective” of her body then, but had “no choice” when the time came to actually film the scene. “If you’ve ever tried it, you’d understand what it means to do it,” Grey said. “It was one of those game-day things.”
