Grease

John Travolta played Danny Zuko. He was 24 years old in this photo.

Today the actor is 64 years old. He continued to act in large productions, but his career started to slow down when he became a member of scientology.

Olivia Newton-John played Sandy Olsen, Danny’s young Australian lover.

Since Grease, Olivia has been more popular for her music career. In 1992, she beat breast cancer and today, she is 70 years old and is still performing in concerts.

Stockard Channing played Betty Rizzo, the young high-school rebel.

The actress was already known before her role in Grease. Since then, she has continued to appear in lots of films and series. She is now 74 years old and lives with the filmmaker Dan Gillham.

Jeff Conaway played Kenickie, Danny’s best friend and Rizzo’s lover.

Jeff passed away in 2011 following an overdose at the age of 60. He was married to Rona, Olivia Newton-John’s sister.

Dinah Manoff played Marty Maraschino, the naïve and superficial fashionista.

Dinah turned to Broadway and won a Tony Award. Since then, she has had some roles in films and TV series.

Didi Conn played Frenchy, the key member of the Pink Ladies.

She is the only actress who also appeared in Grease 2. Today, she is 67 years old and is still acting in films and series.

Lorenzo Lamas played Tom Chisum, Sandy’s little puppy dog. This was his first role in cinema.

The actor is also a black belt in martial arts. He may play bad boys in the movies but hasn’t found it easy breaking into cinema. He also starred in a reality TV show, but it wasn’t enough. Since 2016, he has been working as a helicopter pilot.
