Who Played Baby In Dirty Dancing?

Who Played Baby In Dirty Dancing? Jennifer Grey played Baby in Dirty Dancing as Frances “Baby” Houseman. The actress played Frances “Baby” Houseman in the 1987 classic where we saw her fall in love with her dance instructor during a summer vacation with her family, a Johnny Castle played by the late Patrick Swayze.

Dirty Dancing touches on various social issues that today are very popular in films that want to mark a before and after by jumping barriers. In the successful film, we can see social differences and a large age gap in a summer love affair. He also speaks openly about abortion, a subject that was quite taboo during the time of the 60s in which it is set and that even today carries prejudices. In fact, one of the film’s main backers, skincare brand Clearasil, decided to leave the project after screenwriter and producer Eleanor Bergstein refused to suppress the abortion episode.

On the other hand, the film is a declaration of intent on female sexuality. From the first moment Baby sees Johnny, she is hopelessly attracted to him and obviously wants to sleep with him. The film, which was written by a woman and little loved by male MGM executives, “encompasses the physical side of female sexuality and the excitement and complications that come with it,” as journalist Hadley Freeman stated in her book ‘The time of my life’.
