DIRTY Dancing actress Jennifer Grey showed off her ageless beauty at a new movie premiere 37 years after starring in the iconic chick flick.
The New York-born beauty, 64, arrived in the UK for the BFI London Film Festival and flashed a smile as she hit the Red Carpet.

Jennifer wore her light brunette locks in loose waves over her shoulders and kept her make-up simple, showing off her fresh-faced beauty.
She added a splash of dark pink lipstick to match with the magenta tones matching to her plunging jumper and sparkle sequin skirt in similar shades.
The screen star, who first found fame in her debut flick Reckless, finished off her look with black open-toe heels and silver jewellery.
She attended the presentation of A Real Pain – a movie in which she plays the character of Marcia – at the annual event.
Jennifer showed the same natural, youthful glow as back in 1987, when she starred alongside the late Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing’s first instalment.
She played Frances Houseman, nicknamed Baby, in the romantic drama which saw her character fall in love with dance teacher Johnny Castle, played by Patrick, while on holiday with her family.
The role earned Jennifer a Golden Globe nomination with the movie – and its iconic soundtrack and catchphrases – still loved by film fans years on.
Since then, Jennifer has gone on to clock up a host of movie and Broadway roles – yet sadly believed her looks as baby would stem her career options.
NEW LOOK
She underwent her first minor nose job in 1989, after getting in a car accident with her then-boyfriend, Matthew Broderick.
The first surgery was botched, which resulted in her getting another one a few years later – leaving her appearance vastly changed.
This led to the star even considering changing her name to start a new life.
In 2012 she said of the surgery: “I went into the operating room a celebrity and came out anonymous.
“It was the nose job from hell. I’ll always be this once-famous actress nobody recognises because of a nose job.”
In an interview with PEOPLE she said: “In the world’s eyes, I was no longer me and the weird thing was that thing that I resisted my whole life, and the thing I was so upset with my mother for always telling me I should do my nose.
“I really thought it was capitulating.
“I really thought it meant surrendering to the enemy camp. I just thought, ‘I’m good enough. I shouldn’t have to do this.’
That’s really what I felt. ‘I’m beautiful enough.”
Back in 2022, Jennifer also told how her pals didn’t know who she was following the surgery.
Away from film and TV, Jennifer won US series Dancing With The Stars in 2010, when she was partnered with professional dancer Derek Hough.
She also stood in for Len Goodman as a guest judge on Strictly Come Dancing.
