Little Known Facts About Hit Movie ‘Dirty Dancing’

Thanks, Conan

We have talk show host Conan O’Brian to thank for this fact. In 1997, he started a petition on his show, one that caused Dirty Dancing to be re-released! Conan asked viewers to pen multiple letters asking for the film’s re-release. Eventually exhibitors agreed and O’Brien joked that he actually wasn’t a fan of the movie.

Thanks Conan

Who could forget the adorable thief Mrs. Schumacher? Yes, that is a rhetorical question. Of course everyone remembers her! Turns out that the 80’s sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer had originally agreed to play the thieving little grandma. However Dr. Ruth backed out as she was afraid playing a pilferer of purses would tarnish her image.
