Mrs. Houseman
Originally Lynne Lipton was cast as Baby’s mom, Mrs. Houseman. In the beginning of the film, we see the Houseman pull into the Kellerman’s and we can see Lipton as Mrs. Houseman – her blonde hair is a clear indication. However after she fell ill, the role was then given to Kelly Bishop. Bishop was already posed to play Vivian Pressman (the Bungalow Bunny), but that part then went to the film’s Assistant Choreographer Miranda Garrison.
Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
In 2004, the sequel Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights hit theaters. Initially, Patrick Swayze was offered six million dollars to reprise his role as Johnny, he declined. Although Swayze did have a cameo as a dance instructor in the film.
