In the summer of 1963, 17-year-old Frances "Baby" Houseman is vacationing with her family- cardiologist father Jake, mother Marge and older sister Lisa-at Kellerman's, an upscale Catskills resort in the Borscht Belt owned by Jake's sarcastic best friend Max.
A sequel is scheduled to be released in Summer 2025, with Grey reprising her role. A made-for-TV remake was also released in 2017. The film's popularity led to a 2004 prequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, and a stage version which has had sellout performances in Australia, Europe, and North America. " (I've Had) The Time of My Life", performed by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, and the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. It earned positive reviews from critics, who particularly praised the performances of Grey and Swayze, and its soundtrack, created by Jimmy Ienner, generated two multi- platinum albums and multiple singles. Filming took place in Lake Lure, North Carolina, and Mountain Lake, Virginia, with the film's score composed by John Morris and dance choreography by Kenny Ortega.ĭirty Dancing premiered at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival on May 12, 1987, and was released on August 21, 1987, in the United States, earning over $214 million worldwide, and was the first film to sell more than a million copies for home video. The production company was changed to Vestron Pictures with Emile Ardolino as director and Linda Gottlieb as producer. She finished the script in 1985, but management changes at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer put the film in development hell. She originally wrote a screenplay for the Michael Douglas film It's My Turn, but ultimately ended up conceiving a story for a film which became Dirty Dancing. The film was based on screenwriter Bergstein's own childhood. Starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, it tells the story of Frances "Baby" Houseman (Grey), a young woman who falls in love with dance instructor Johnny Castle (Swayze) at a vacation resort. Dirty Dancing is a 1987 American romantic drama dance film written by Eleanor Bergstein, produced by Linda Gottlieb, and directed by Emile Ardolino.
