Jennifer Grey is an American actress who has a net worth of $10 million. Grey is best known for starring as Frances “Baby” Houseman in “Dirty Dancing” (1987) and Jeanie Bueller in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” (1986), and she played herself on ABC’s “It’s Like, You Know…” (1999–2001) and Judy Meyers on Amazon Prime Video’s “Red Oaks” (2014–2017). Jennifer has appeared in more than 40 film and television projects, and she performed on Broadway in “The Twilight of the Golds” in 1993. In 2010, Grey competed on “Dancing With the Stars,” which she won with partner Derek Hough.
Career
At age 19, Grey booked her first commercial, a Dr. Pepper ad, and she made her big screen debut in 1984’s “Reckless.” That year she also appeared in the films “Red Dawn” and “The Cotton Club” as well as “The Great Love Experiment” episode of “ABC Afterschool Special.” Jennifer then appeared in the 1985 film “American Flyers” and co-starred with Matthew Broderick in the 1986 teen comedy “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” In 1987, she starred in “Dirty Dancing” alongside Patrick Swayze, and the film was a massive hit, grossing $214.6 million against a $4.5 million budget. Grey earned a Golden Globe nomination for her performance. After “Dirty Dancing,” she voiced Airelle in the 1988 French animated movie “Gandahar” and appeared in the films “Bloodhounds of Broadway” (1989), “If the Shoe Fits” (1990), and “Wind” (1992) and the made-for-television movies “Murder in Mississippi” (1990), “Criminal Justice” (1990), “If the Shoe Fits” (1990), “Eyes of a Witness” (1991), and “A Case for Murder” (1993).
Personal Life
In 1987, Grey was a passenger in a car driven by then-boyfriend Matthew Broderick in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, that was involved in a fatal accident. Jennifer suffered severe whiplash, and 63-year-old Margaret Doherty and 28-year-old Anna Gallagher were tragically killed when Broderick veered into the wrong lane. A few weeks later, “Dirty Dancing” was released, and Grey has said that she couldn’t enjoy the success of the film because she felt so much survivor’s guilt over the accident.
