‘Grease’: What Are The Original Cast Up To Now?

‘Grease’ launched several Hollywood careers and gave us unforgettable hits like ‘Summer Nights’ and ‘You're the One That I Want,’ but what has its cast been up to since filming? Known for her portrayal of Rizzo, Stockard Channing remained a respected force on stage and screen, earning both Tony and Emmy Awards throughout her career. She also had a recurring role on the CBS drama ‘The Good Wife’ and is set to reprise her role as Aunt Franny in ‘Practical Magic 2’. Jeff Conaway, who portrayed the forever-cool T-Bird Kenickie, went on to star in the hit sitcom ‘Taxi’ before later joining the sci-fi series ‘Babylon 5’. After years of struggling with substance abuse, Conaway sadly passed away in May 2011 from complications of pneumonia. Then there's Didi Conn, who played the quirky Pink Lady Frenchy. She actually later appeared in two more screen adaptations of ‘Grease’, including ‘Grease 2’ in 1982 and ‘Grease: Live!’ in 2016. Conn also went on to appear in television shows like ‘The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang’ as well as ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’.
