OUT OF THE CORNER

Fans of the cult classic DIRTY DANCING will be all ears as its female lead, Jennifer Grey, narrates the story of her rise to fame--and sudden loss of it--in this unflinching memoir. From her childhood with her famous father, actor Joel Grey, to behind-the-scenes anecdotes of the film, and beyond, Grey retraces her path from stardom to a mistimed cosmetic procedure, and then to her life as a wife and mother. Throughout, she displays grace, humor, and self-deprecation. This is a detailed exploration of how the rise to Hollywood fame can come with debilitating pressures. Grey is a lively storyteller who doesn't hold back any punches. Finally, she is being seen again, after nose surgery left her unrecognizable to the world--including family, friends, agents, and casting directors.
