A Brief Biography of Jennifer Gray

Gray Jennifer (pictured below) is an American film actress who gained worldwide popularity after playing the role of Baby, the main character in the melodrama Dirty Dancing, which appeared on the screens in 1987. Despite this, she can not boast of a large number of different works. The girl was born in New York on March 26, 1960. Her family was closely connected with show business. In particular, Mom, Joe Wilder, worked as a singer, and Papa Joel as a dancer and actor who performed in the theater and acted in film. It was thanks to this that Jennifer spent a lot of time behind the scenes.

Grandiose debut

After graduating from the secondary school, she received certain knowledge also at the theater courses. Speaking anywhere in adolescence, the girl was not fortunate. Jennifer Gray, whose biography as an actress began in 1984, began her career with small supporting roles. At this time she took part in the films "Red Dawn", "Reckless", as well as "Club Cotton". In all cases, the director was Francis Ford Coppola. For three years after that, she had to play only minor characters in various projects. The reward for hard work was the role of young Francis Housman, whom she received in the film "Dirty Dancing", which became cult in the late eighties of the last century. In the story, the main heroine of melodrama (Baby) fell in love with a dancer named Johnny, performed by Patrick Swayze. It should be noted that the actress was older than her character for ten years. The picture collected unbelievable at that time two hundred million dollars in the world box office, while only six million were spent on the shooting. Jennifer Gray herself was awarded the "Golden Globe" - the award, which became the only one in her creative career.

In 1993, the girl made her debut and on Broadway - she took part in the film "Golden Twilight", where her character became a pregnant woman. According to the script, she was confronted with the fact that her future child would most likely turn out to be a homosexual.

Further work

After such overwhelming success, it all went to the fact that the actress will be sprinkled with proposals from different directors in the literal sense of the word. However, this did not happen. Jennifer mostly played minor characters. Moreover, the films with her participation did not find laudatory reviews among viewers and critics, but on the contrary - failed. A striking proof of this can be described as the "Snoopers from Broadway", released in 1989, where her partner on the site was the Madonna. Three years later, Jennifer Gray won a major role in the film "Wind". Unfortunately, this film also failed miserably at the box office.

More actively, the actress participated in television projects. In 1990, she starred in two films - "Criminal Justice" and "Murder on the Mississippi." Two years later, on a wide screen, a thriller "The Case of Murder" appeared. In 1995, the actress took part in the picture "West Side Waltz", as well as in one of the episodes of the popular American TV series "Friends."

Operation

According to Jennifer Gray, the cause of so many failures and unsuccessful roles was her "not quite perfect" appearance. First of all it concerned the shape of the nose. The actress herself called him not quite straight, large and with a hump. In this regard, she decided to do a plastic surgery. According to unofficial information, the first one was unsuccessful, so the actress turned to the services of surgeons for the second time. Her appearance has changed so much that even family members are not immediately accustomed to this and for a long time could not recognize her. Jennifer Gray, after a plastic surgery, admitted more than once that she went to the clinic as a celebrity, and left no one. Moreover, she had the impression that she had become invisible. The changed appearance had such an impact on the acting career that she repeatedly seriously thought about changing the name.

It would be incorrect to say that the operation was unsuccessful. Rather, on the contrary - Jennifer received a completely new, beautiful face. Anyway, now among many fans of the actress there is an opinion that the unusual nose was its main highlight and emphasized the individuality. To learn in it now the former charming Baby is simply impossible.

Personal life

At different times, Jennifer had various novels about which there were rumors in the press. She was associated with such well-known actors as William Baldwin, Matthew Broderick and Liam Neeson. In 1990 she was even engaged to Johnny Depp. Whatever it was, in 2001, Jennifer married. Her chosen one was actor Clark Gregg, to whom she gave birth to a daughter. After the appearance of the girl in the light of the legendary Baby took a pause in the shooting for a period of five years and devoted herself to her education.
