This film turned out to be a revolution in the actor’s life. Interestingly, Jennifer Gray and Patrick Swayze had already worked together in the film “Red Dawn” from 1984. The actress later admitted to the media that… she did not have the best memories of their cooperation. When they met during rehearsals for “Dirty Dancing”, Swayze decided to apologize to her. He reportedly had tears in his eyes when he did it. — He pulled me out into the hall and said, “I love you, I love you and I’m sorry. I know you don’t want me to be in this movie.” He had tears in his eyes, I had tears in my eyes, but for a different reason. And then he said, ‘If we do this, we’ll be great,'” Gray recalled on “The View.”
