Jennifer Grey in Conversation with Katie Couric: Out of the Corner

May 10, 2022


Join acclaimed actress Jennifer Grey as she discusses her life and career, as chronicled in the new book, Out of the Corner: A Memoir. A deeply candid and refreshingly spirited account of identity lost and found, the star of the iconic film Dirty Dancing takes readers on on a vivid tour of the experiences that have shaped her, from her childhood as the daughter of Broadway and film legend Joel Grey, to the surprise hit with Patrick Swayze that made her America’s sweetheart, to her inspiring season eleven win on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

Throughout this intimate narrative, Grey richly evokes places and times that were defining for a generation—from her preteen days in 1970s Malibu and wild child nights in New York’s club scene, to her roles in quintessential movies of the 1980s, including The Cotton Club, Red Dawn, and her breakout performance in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. With self-deprecating humor and frankness, she looks back on her unbridled, romantic adventures in Hollywood. And she shares the devastating fallout from a plastic surgery procedure that caused the sudden and stunning loss of her professional identity and career. Distinctive, moving, and powerful, told with generosity and pluck, Out of the Corner is a memoir about a never-ending personal evolution, a coming-of-age story for women of every age.

Grey is currently teaming up with Lionsgate as executive producer and to star in the long-awaited Dirty Dancing sequel.
