5 x what you think when you see Dirty Dancing again

In the category of happy moments. You put a child to bed, secretly turn on the TV with the sound off. You have to do something too, after all. Where is the time when you clicked on a nightlight, let a music box play, gave a child a kiss on the forehead, and quietly walked out of the room? Oh, you remember it again. You never had that time. At least I didn't. I'm being held in a headlock. I also have to be under the covers. Their hands over mine and legs like monkeys clamped over me. So they are sure that I won't leave the room lightly. That's why a person has to do something; I would like to sneak a glass of wine into the bedroom and secretly watch TV while I tickle my offspring on their foreheads. I flipped through Max (my secret favorite), via RTL to Net5, and even before I saw the title, I knew it. Dirty Dancing! I just recognized the font. After all these years.

 
That was exactly what I needed on this Monday evening without knowing that I was in need, I might say. And then things like that shoot through your head such as.

1. How long have I not seen him?

And for that matter; how many times have I seen him? I estimate about twenty times. And yet there are scenes that you don't remember.

2. The first time

Dirty Dancing was my first real movie in the cinema. Where you only went with girlfriends. And with their big, cool sisters and so on. And then walking out of the theater in love. All completely excited and head over heels for Patrick Swayze.

3. He is, right?

Patrick Swayze? He has passed away, right? Parkinson's, right? Oh no, that's Michael J. Fox. Pancreatic cancer. And he casually smoked about 60 cigarettes a day.

4. And then Jennifer Grey

What has become of her? Well, that's all quite juicy. For example, she had a serious car accident just before Dirty Dancing came out. She was driving with Matthew Broderick (who was her boyfriend at the time, you know, him from Sarah Jessica Parker) and he wasn't paying attention, causing them to crash into another car and the other two people died. According to Jennifer, she couldn't enjoy the success of the film at all because she was overwhelmed by sadness and guilt.

A bit cheerier is that she had a relationship with Johnny Depp (he is the Johnny de Mol of LA, has treated everyone nicely) and she won the eleventh season of Dancing With the Stars in 2010. Yes, that doesn't surprise me. She looks good by the way. The nose is gone, although I thought it was nice, and you can clearly see that our Jen is not afraid of needles, but still, she looks great. And she has been with the same man since 2001. For Hollywood standards, that's worthy of a medal.

5. Where is this?

I also want to go to such an all-American holiday park. With wooden cabins and that delightful entertainment. And then be sixteen again and kiss Patrick Swayze. Oh no, he's dead.
