End Number
The end number (which featured one of the greatest dancing scenes ever) didn’t go to plan. Jennifer Grey revealed that the floor had been painted which made it difficult to dance on. She told Marie Claire in 2017, “I remember doing the big dance finale and they had just painted the stage and it was sticky.” Grey added, “The paint would stick to my feet so I couldn’t turn. All the extras were sitting around, just hundreds of people, watching you about to fall on your face.”

Made The Movie
Patrick Swayze admitted in his autobiography, which was released in 2009 after he tragically passed from pancreatic cancer, a few things about co-star Jennifer Grey. Swayze wrote that she was “truly phenomenal” and “in many ways, she made the movie”. However he admitted that she was also difficult to work with. “We did have a few moments of friction when we were tired or after a long day of shooting. She seemed particularly emotional, sometimes bursting into tears if someone criticized her. Other times, she slipped into silly moods, forcing us to do scenes over and over again when she’d start laughing.”
