She wasn't "Hollywood glamorous" beautiful, she was "All American Girl Next Door" beautiful which is so much better. She knows she made a mistake with the surgeries. God bless her and I wish her all the best. That said, no one can deny that she is still a beautiful woman.
She looked so much better, minimal tweak made a huge improvement.
Won’t be the same without Patrick swayze and I dislike all the attempts now to make money from the past.
She had a unique look that made her instantly recognizable. You can't buy that. Her nose complemented the twinkle in her eyes. She still looks nice but in a different way.
It's not just the nose. It's all of her facial features. Find one of those before and after side by side photos of Jennifer. Cover up the nose on both photos. She doesn't look the same even when you can't see the noses. Some people's faces just change a lot through the natural aging process. The aging face types are sagger, sinker, or wrinkler. I think Jennifer is a sinker, which really changes your facial appearance. A good plastic surgeon could absolutely adjust her nose to something closers to what it was. But who bother? The rest of her face looks different too.
she most definately had a unique look! ill never forget the feeling of dismay i felt when i just did not recognise her with that false new nose! oh young women take heed. God created us and knows what parts to put together.
Yeah, I'm with you 100%. She had a special look that made her attractive to me. I clicked this video saying "no that's not even her, this must be a mistake or click bait
Yes she had a unique gorgeous look. I never viewed her as having a big nose.
SHe looks much better.....to me....
She looks beautiful now and she looked beautiful before too. Her personality shines through and she strikes me as being a beautiful person in general. A genuine and pure soul: a Ray of sunshine.
Agreed
Beautiful before all the botched plastic surgery and nasty Botox!!!!
Nose job
💯 looked/looks great!
I prefer natural
She is 62 and looks FANTASTIC! She seems like a lovely person.
Lot of makeup and good lightening.
Even so. I could never look that good with any amount of makeup and lighting, and we're the same age. @@inthedarkwoods2022
And plastic surgery let’s not forget that

@Danmark30 So in other words, you want to punt a field goal until she turns blue, tongue-punch her fart-box and write your name on her face?
Hollywood needs to ask this woman to audition for roles. She is so real about who she is and her life. Pretty amazing woman. Would love to see her on the big screen again.
It’s amazing what the second nose surgery did… her face just doesn’t look right. I did notice that she looked good, better after the first nose surgery. C’est La Vie.
@@warrenwhite9085 You are right. I looked at her first nose job again and it would have kept her career alive. The second one killed her career.
but she's completely unrecognizable - she destroyed her career. To this day, you have to remind me that's her or I'll miss it... she's got an Odo-face now. She should get all the work undone and go back to the Ferris Bueller era nose that we actually remember her for.
@@chouseification Maybe now that all those years have gone by, people will just chalk up the physical changes to aging. If I was her, I would start auditioning. I think she has a chance.
@@pollyannaprinciple5860 no, I wasn't even slightly kidding. She has a total chameleon face - she's absolutely and utterly forgettable, exactly what I already said. She needs to bring back the old schnoz so peeps will recognize her again. She's the perfect example of poorly planned surgery - your recognition is far more important than "are you hot"... a bland 8 is nowhere as interesting as a 6.5 who is clearly and immediately recognizable.
I honestly think she aged like fine wine. She's one of those very few people who actually look way better now than when they were young. Absolutely gorgeous and sweet lady who should be getting roles on the regular. Hollywood dropped the ball again.
This a good lesson for younger people: Be who you are. The imperfections are what makes you special. Embrace them.
Try telling that to Rocky Dennis and the Elephant Man.
Unless of course you’re completely unattractive
@Michael Malloy wow, still riding that small bus huh??
@@labguru7628 tell them if you can 🙂
Facial deformities are not something you want
At 62, she looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!
I really liked her - she was my favorite character in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", she was hysterical as the typical 80's teenager.
I loved her character in that movie! She played it perfectly.
She wasn't traditionally the pretty girl but she had something so endearing that held your attention when she was young. Now as a older woman she looks beautiful
You mean the pretty kind that the British people have held onto dear life for 800 years? There is more than one kind of pretty
Yes, I agree, she is beautiful within, and it radiates out :)
@@darlinspaces traditionally pretty as in you look at her and go wow she's pretty! Comprende
So what you people are shallow. Get a life, what makes someone pretty. She is pretty just like the rest
Until someone say the truth, I don’t get why people likes to lie and say oh she was beautiful, gorgeous, she was different as you say, but there was something special, but now her nose looks perfect for her face, so much better, for me now she is beautiful
My mother-in-law has criticized my wife's nose from birth, but fortunately she has resisted rhinoplasty. She's been my college sweetheart for 54 years, my wife for 50, and I she has always gotten compliments on her looks, not just from me. For many of us, the most important aspect of human beauty is diversity, the fact that we don't all look alike or conform to someone's norm.
Your mother in law is mean, so glad you excepted your wife the way she is.
My lifetime female companion got a nose jib, didn't work and finally on the 3rd one they got it right. We both agree that she never should have had it done. She has remained beautiful forever none the less.
I truly enjoyed her honesty and candidness. She won my compassion.
The summer of 87 is a year I’ll always remember it being magical.
Same. I was 17 😊❤
It's amazing how a nose surgery totally changed her looks, even after all these years it's still shocking! I liked her natural look, made her unique like Barbra Streisand. Even she(Babs) knew at a young age all those many years ago it could change her career drastically, smart lady! She's pretty now but I liked her in her younger years as an actress, haven't seen much of her in years. I'm sure her book is a good read, best of luck to her!! She's funny!!
Yes, she looks very different, a whole new person. Still pretty and plastic surgery tastefully done.
@She looked so much better after the surgery.
I was under the impression Babs didn't get it done b/c she was afraid it would change her voice (and yeah, if that happened, that would have been a great loss). Don't like her, but boy can she sing. lol
@@purselmer5931 That's something I didn't hear or maybe remember, but it makes sense. I just remember an interview I saw from years ago where she talked about it and said many tried to talk her into it, but felt people would look at her differently. She was well known for her schnoz even in the beginning of her career, she started very young and she said she was happy and comfortable with her nose, hee! I've always loved her as a singer and actress since I was very young, that's how I'll always remember her, haven't seen her in a long while! She got to act with some hunky men in their prime, was always envious and then she ends up with James Brolin, happy for her!! Sorry I went on and on and thanks for sharing!
@@sallywilliams5444 She does but I saw her enough before her surgery that the change makes her a different person to me, strange I know, but she does look great and I love her sense of humor and hate how she got treated after her surgery, she's a great actress!!
*62 years old??? She looks AMAZING!!*
I liked the way she looked before the surgery and that's the honest truth. However, I know it's her body and that she can do whatever she wants to it. I just didn't think that there was anything wrong with her nose to begin with and she was beautiful the way she was. I'm so sorry if anyone ever made her feel less than that. The world can be a cruel place sometimes. Shouldn't being who we really are be good enough?
She knows... she has tell to the world she regreats.. people didn't recognice her... this is not nice. But she has grown and tells the truth because she is a true person
I liked her nose. Yes, it was a flaw. But I thought it was a beautiful flaw and made her unique looking and pretty in her own way. It's like the mole on Cindy Crawford, it added to her beauty even though it was a 'flaw'.
Same-I thought she was adorable back then.
Yes agree she looked better before the nose job.
Me too.
Just finished her book and I absolutely loved it. She’s such a unique, funny and vibrant woman. Congrats, Jennifer.
Had a major crush on her back in the day. I thought she was so beautiful...and she still is, but man she really looks like a completely different person. I wouldn't have recognized her at all. Its really sad she felt she had to do all that for her career.
“All that”? It was one nose job, and a revision. 99.9% of people in the entertainment industry have had a nose job, and most nose jobs will need a revision (if you only need one revision, you’re lucky). Most famous people just do it before they get super famous so that no one will notice. She didn’t do anything that every other actor/actress didn’t also do. For her, her nose happened to be a defining feature of her face, and it had a big impact on her overall appearance. She looks great, just different. But it’s not because she had a ton of surgery.
@@dewilew2137 She's had more than her nose done. She's had her cheeks and eyes done as well. She is unrecognizable. They even had a short lived sitcom starring Jennifer Grey about how her nose job ruined her career because no one recognized her anymore.
@@dewilew2137 ...and "99.9%" of people in the industry get nose jobs is absolutely ridiculous. Its nowhere near that, not even close. Its a shame though that they feel compelled to do these things to their appearance just to stay relevant.
@dewile137
Don't change yourself for anyone. Let no one define you or how you see yourself.
How she could think that she wasn't beautiful before always throws me off. She was gorgeous then and had this adorable smile. She's still beautiful. It sucks that she was pressured into thinking that was going to change things when she was clearly already a great actress. It's not always about looks. You have to be good at your craft.
She was a 6/10 before and went to an 8/10 after her nosejob.
This happens in spades to females!
I wanted to look like her as a teen. It's sad she didn't realize her beauty. She like Lil older then me
It’s a strange thing that often happens with hugely successful films, in which one actor seems to take off like a rocket and another one seems to stay right in place. Both were equally responsible for the success of dirty dancing, yet Patrick Swayze was the one that got rewarded with a great career. She basically stayed in place. It’s odd. But it happens.
It has a lot to do with anti-Semitism. There is a double standard imposed on Jewish women, particularly Jewish women in public professions. People of color can relate to what she was saying.
They both completely embody both characters!!! This is why the movie is soooo good
What a lovely person. Im sad this happened and she wasn’t able to continue in the business. I hope her book is a success
Her dancing on Dancing With The Stars...AND SHE IS ONE! was phenomenal.....My best to her!
She looks amazing. Even on my best days, I've never looked that good. Absolutely stunning.
I think she is gorgeous! She does look different, but WOW she was cute before.. but she is absolutely gorgeous 😍
dennis reagan....Dayam, Dennis! Now WHY did you have to go and write EXACTLY what I was going to write about her?? Well, it's okay because you wrote the TRUTH!! She IS absolutely gorgeous. Thanks, buddy. :-)
Love this woman, very candid, honest and appreciative.
She really comes off as an awesome person! Great interview
She's not
I have always liked Jennifer Grey she is a class act.... You never heard anything scandalous about her.... She has lived her life on her own terms and was always so talented.... She certainly is a beautiful humble being..... 💜😊
We all wish we could of said "I'm Sorry" to someone who is now gone. Life is full of regrets, but "NEVER PUT BABY IN THE CORNER". Miss you, Patrick.
She is so pretty now but she was also really beautiful when she was young and it is so terrible that she had that kind of pressure and was made to feel not beautiful because of her nose. She was gorgeous.
She’s incredible, and there’s no one like her!
Jennifer is, and always will be gorgeous!
_"Ferris Bueller's Day Off"_ and _"Dirty Dancing"_ both Classic and Timeless movies❤️
Yes! I thought for sure she would say these are the 2 things she is known for.
Her natural face was unique and recognizable. I wouldn't change that at all.
She was young and was only listening to her parents and relatives which by the way got their nose done!
She’s truly amazing, so humble and intelligent
I hope young people see this interview and re-think the idea of getting unnecessary plastic surgery. Jennifer went from uniquely beautiful to unremarkable. Such a shame.
She was pretty after and adorable before. However she felt it was necessary. She still has the same eyes.. I can’t believe the airline employee didn’t recognize her.
So well done..
We create our paths in life with just a nudge to stop or proceed. Listen to that split second.
Her saying she was thankful for her father's self sacrifice was incredibly true. I knew men within that era that couldn't be themselves and others even 30 years ago that made the same choices for the same reasons.
Jennifer Grey didn't want Patrick to play the part of Johnny Castle but the producers wouldn't have it any other way. It would have been a different movie without Patrick cause he was just awesome in Dirty Dancing. I am glad that Jennifer came around and realized that Patrick was the right person for the part of Johnny. Jennifer had dance experience too so it made the movie a timeless classic that we can still watch all of these years later and still enjoy it.
I met her in a bar in LA when she was maybe in her early thirties. I didn't recognize her at first, but I doubt it was because of her surgery; I knew her only from pictures in newspapers. Gradually it dawned on me that this beautiful girl might be Jennifer Grey and I asked one of her friends -- she was with a group of friends -- if her name was Jennifer and the friend confirmed reluctantly. She was much more beautiful in person than in any picture I'd ever seen, and she seemed nice also. I was kind of flirting with her until I realized that one of the guys in her group of friends must be her boyfriend. He was an agent at a big agency called CAA. Jay, I think his name was. He died young. I'm assuming she writes about him in her book.
Jay Moloney, a Hollywood agent superstar, and that from a young age. Died by suicide in 1999 at the age of 35. See Vanity Fair article "Golden Boy Lost". He couldn't kick a coke habit, amongst several demons he battled. RIP.
She has such emotive eyes. Such a gift to have as an actress! Can't wait to see her comeback!
Great interview and a seemingly wonderful person and actress ! Dirty Dancing one of my most favorite movies ever !
Thank you for airing this great interview.
She's very pretty either way. It's too bad everyone wants to look the same now. Same nose, lips...Yes, that's also beautiful, but it's boring when everyone has the same facial features.
I dont care about the outside stuff. We love you Jennifer.
Here,here
Favorite movie of all time! If you can be famous for 1 thing I'd be proud of the fact that this is it.
I love her. She has had such incredible grace and strength.
She is an alluring actress! Her timing is always spot on and she is happily memorable in many ways! ❤❤❤
Is she pretty now? Absolutely. Did her nose define her looks? Absolutely - And it was adored.
She’s absolutely gorgeous.
She looked great before and she looks great now.
People need to stop looking at the outer, and look the inside a person. Beauty truly comes from within, not from a knife or injection. It is a shame that Jennifer felt she had to have the plastic surgery to get work, to support herself. Jennifer seems like one of those that has the inner beauty
Loved her nose... so unique.
She is stunning
This was an awesome interview . She looks great. Total congrats!
Love her! She's every bit as wonderful and adorable as her character in Dirty Dancing, even decades later.
She doesn't even look like Jennifer Grey, that looks like major plastic surgery
She has owned it. Her look has grown on me over the years. I can still see her original look. She's lovely either way.
@@WH2012 yeah it's just a shock if you don't see her for a long time, but of course she is beautiful.
@@kbanghart Agreed!
No, it's really just her nose. At least it was. Some people are like that, one minor tweak at a defining characteristic and everything seems to change. She couldn't have known it before she did it. Her nose made her face. It's like when Renee Zellweger had her eyelids done, and she became unrecognizable and everyone thought her whole face was done, but no, it was just the eyelids. She got them back the way they were and now she is herself again.
Luv her! She is…and stays absolutely fantastic!!! 💫💫💫💫💫
Good for her. Glad to see her again. 🌷
So sad to hear she only made 50k
Shocking 😳
She is just stunning.
She is amazing, so down to Earth. Love her❤
Show-biz is not forgiving; it's not easy having a career and also taking care of yourself. I'm glad Jennifer Grey is getting another bite at the show-biz apple; she deserves it 👏👏👏👏
Patrick Swayze was in alot of pain in the famous scene holding her up. He had knee pain in that scene; he said in an interview. M arr
That's the problem with our society" change and you will be somebody change and you will be loved but if you do what everyone else says you will never be happy society should accept us all just as we are! Love yourself and everything else falls into place..... Had to learn that the hard way. Great classic movie and she is beautiful before and after! Loved her either way.
very true
I agree 100% with you. I also believe people should embrace what makes them different and not try to fit the mould from early childhood, which I wish more people could teach their kids as they develop.
36 years later and she still looks amazing ❤
I loved Dirty Dancing. My oldest daughter was born that year.
What a charming and intelligent beauty. It is a pleasure to see her do this interview.
From 1987 when DD came out till Patrick's death in 2009, she had plenty of time to apologize to him. Can't believe she's still relevant bc of DD and Patrick who has been gone over 12 years. Oh and there will never be another DD without PS
Absolutely could not get into the book. However, I love her as an actress and happy to see her success.
"Wind" with Mathew Modine was an awesome movie. Dirty Dancing and Wind are still 2 movies I have watched more times I can remember and can still enjoy watching again.
Jennifer is a True American Gem - I LOVE JENNIFER GREY and I always have. She is a kind and genuine human being and it is very obvious she is the real deal. I wish I knew her. I would be more blessed than I already am to have this lady for my friend. Who doesn't want kind hearted adn good people in their lives? I love that she's so close to her parents adn talks to them every day. More people should be like this woman. She looks really great too! Never hurts to be so pretty and the nose job thing is just sad, wasn't necessary either but it never should have changed anything about her career that is the sad part. The industry insiders are so superficial. But I thinks times have changed much since all that nonsense. Good luck Jennifer with all you do. You're a success and you deserve to be. Congrats to you.
Well, she looks amazing now! Seems very kind as well.
Meryl Streep has a nose and look how successful she has been. Jennifer is multi-talented. I hope she gets another chance to prove her metal. Good luck Jennifer and I hope we get to see you soon on the
screen. 🥰
I loved seeing her be so true. She is an amazing women ❤
I agree with so many previous comments. Baby was so lovable and beautiful back during the Dirty Dancing days, but she's even more beautiful today and not because of the surgery. She's blessed to have aged so beautifully! I've seen interviews with her that she's teared up when talking about Patrick.
Awe I loved her! Often wondered what’s she was. I think she is more beautiful than ever 🌸 wow! Tell your story 🙏🏻💗
Just listened to her book. She narrates it. She is so incredibly transparent. …perhaps was protected too much by her adoring show biz parents. As such never developed that cast iron shell you need as an actress. Especially then. Btw Mathew Broderick did what he could to undermine her, which surprised me ( he’s always come off like a nice guy) . Really a great book.
She is very fortunate to have her parents still alive!
Patrick died 14th September 2009 Friday I remember that day was suppose be happy day after weeks months in coma rehab hospital learning talk walk again been a recovery massive discovery never ever give up on yourself many will never yourselves keep going doing amazing things stay strong stay safe stay positive sending luck hugs love from headway Nottingham UK takecare xxx
She seems like a true beautiful soul ❤
She was gorgeous then and still is now. 😍
everyone keeps pointing out the nose thing and I get it, but I still see Jennifer with that twinkle in her eyes when she smiles! 🙂
I love Jennifer Grey! She has always been an extremely talented woman, both as an actress and a dancer! Even after getting her nose job, she still looks beautiful. I am aware of the fact that back when she and Patrick Swayze worked on Dirty Dancing together, they didn't get along very well behind the scenes. However, I think they eventually reconciled. I remembered reading somewhere that Jennifer felt very heartfelt and compassionate towards Patrick after he passed away in 2009. She said she had nothing but fond memories of him when they worked on Dirty Dancing together and that her heart goes out to him and his family.

Jennifer Grey in a film cald WIND...was a huge favourate of mine.
She was pretty. She was gorgeous. She was absolutely beautiful.
I don’t know how ANYONE could say that this woman wasn’t beautiful due to her nose. She is stunning, and she’s one of my favorite actors. To go through all that due to her nose. Her nose was part of her character, who she was, and since some people are so mean, she had to change that in order to support herself. This really needs to stop. Woman should be themselves without having to have some type of plastic surgery (in this case), in order to support themselves. She’s gorgeous either way, but I loved her look before she had surgery.
Worst of all… it didn’t work! The change was too extreme, and she wasn’t recognized. That must have so painful!
I kept waiting for her to get parts over ther years, but she never did.
Her fans and Hollywood missed out on seeing more of her terrific talent, I thought she was going on to become a superstar… she was that good in that movie.
There was NOTHING wrong with her nose. Point, blank, period. She should have kept her authentic look. Look at Sarah Jessica Parker & Barbra Steisand they didn't change their noses, and they got work. It's that Hollywood crap!!
Jennifer is absolutely beautiful. She is amazing 💗
Ok THIS is the Dirty Dancing sequel I WILL watch!!! 😃 💃🏻
I have a large nose, myself and I looked up to Barbara Streisand, Jennifer Grey, Cher and other female actresses and singers that were unique and pretty with their large noses. They were the reason I was able to accept myself the way I am. I'm disappointed and some what hurt and betrayed that they " sold out" to Hollywierd's idea of what is pretty and not pretty. Thank you Barbara for sticking to your natural looks.
I like her!!! I like her so much!! I have never listened to an JG interview, nor have I kept up with her career since her most iconic roles. But hearing her speak, listening to her thoughts, I am impressed by JG’s character & what a lovely personality. I feel as though we would be good friends!! That is a great feeling to impart to people who have never met you. I hope to see more of her, as it would be such a treat.🫶🏻
She's beautiful
Great interview.. brave, self confident lady!
Arrrr She’s wonderful
Can’t wait see the film
Wasnt she Jeannie Beuller?
She looks way better now than when she was young
Loved getting a getting a signed copy of your copy of your book. Thanks!!
Yes she’s definitely unrecognizable as the young woman she once was BUT she still looks good. The work she’s had done looks amazing!
She was super pretty and is still pretty, although looks very different.
She was the cutest thing . Im sorry , but I was so saddened when she had that operation . It totally changed her appearance and who she was to me . She was beautiful and i loved the nose , I loved her whole face . Anyway its clear from this interview she is most definitely a beautiful soul and I am pleased to hear she is in a good place now and is happy and content with her life . Love you Jennifer Grey . You were amazing in the film "Dirty Dancing ". I remember thinking hec , she is so talented to be able to keep up with Patrick Swayze in the dancing department . The last scene in the movie where they are both up on that stage , well what can I say but ........WOW !....... Jennifer looked like a complete pro, and she was so lovely to look at . My entire family loved her and we would have loved to have see Jennifer in more films . I hope she makes more movies in the future.
Jennifer, you performed so wonderfully on Dirty Dancing , and you were stunning!
Wow, she is absolutely stunning! So beautiful to this day!
