Blink and you'll miss it, but right beforehand, she strolls out of the bathroom with an ice cream cone in hand all the while licking it. Now, Rizzo isn't someone who cares much what people think of her, but surely she could've asked Marty or somebody to hold her cone while she visited the ladies' room? Grease 's Rydell High is an aspirational school for many reasons, including but not limited to the massive carnival in the football field to celebrate graduation.
At that very same carnival, there's a pie-throwing game in service of the teachers' retirement fund. In any other movie, this would be a gross little nod, but Rydell's staff happen to go above and beyond for their students. Then there's the auto shop teacher, who helps the guys get Kenickie's car in gear even when there are stolen parts involved, and then shows up at Thunder Road to cheer them on.
And finally, who could forget Principal McGee and Blanche, sobbing over watching another senior class move on and leave the school? The students might be slackers, but the teachers really care. Marty is one of Grease 's most underrated characters. Most of her big moments are quiet: the way she scrunches her face when she says "uh huh" during " Summer Nights ," the " dummy he's a marine!
Marty's big moment, however, comes at the dance when she sidles up to host Vince Fontaine to flirt and hopefully make him dance with her. In spite of his bad jokes which Marty hilariously fake-laughs at and the fact he's, as Sonny points out, an "older guy," it's obvious she's smitten with him. It's unclear how the night ends for the two of them until the drive-in when one, throwaway line to Rizzo lets us in on just what type of a guy Vince Fontaine turned out to be.
When discussing Rizzo's maybe- pregnancy , Marty reveals that she caught Fontaine "trying to put aspirin in my Coke at the dance. And it barely even registers, either with Rizzo or the audience, because it comes and goes so fast. It's like a non-event when it really shouldn't be because wow. As previously discussed, Rizzo is the best character in Grease. On its surface, it's a plaintive romantic ballad about how screwed up she is. At its core, this song is about a woman who refuses to put her sexual needs aside, who is afraid to be vulnerable with a man because she's been hurt so much in the past, and how much worse it would be to actually admit she cares than to be called the tramp of the school by the likes of Patty Simcox.
It's a powerful, fist-pumping, yet still devastatingly raw moment for the strongest female character in the movie. And, unlike Sandy, Rizzo realizes she doesn't need to change all that much to be the best version of herself besides maybe being a bit kinder, as when she thanks her one-time enemy for reaching out to her.
If there's one talking point about Grease that's gained serious traction in the 40 years since the movie's release, it's the infamous makeover sequence at the end. There's an argument to be made about how Danny technically changes himself too, in order to be good enough for Sandy. But, let's face it, she still has to change a whole lot more than he does.
On another note, the two of them fight for the entire film. The only moment they're truly happy is at the beginning on the beach. Otherwise, they're at each other's throats, misunderstanding each other's intentions, neglecting each other's wants and needs, or just plain ignoring one another. Their romance isn't even the most captivating. Putz and Jan have a much sweeter courtship, as do Doody and Frenchie.
Even Marty and Sonny make more of an effort with each other. Sandy and Danny are doomed. Everyone in Grease looks super old YouTube. Dodgy sexual politics abound in Grease YouTube. Grease features a lot of innuendos YouTube. Danny forces himself on Sandy twice in Grease YouTube. The biggest laughs in Grease come from the principal and her assistant YouTube.
What does this line in Grease mean anyway? Grease's "Summer Nights" is kind of messed up YouTube. Rizzo is the most sympathetic character in Grease YouTube. Grease's Kenickie pulls out a knife to fight the Scorpions, while Doody pulls out a water gun YouTube. Rizzo comes out of the bathroom eating an ice cream cone in Grease YouTube. The high school staff in Grease really care about their students YouTube. You probably remember Didi Conn as the pink-haired, beauty-loving Frenchy in Grease who almost drops out of school to pursue a career as a beautician.
Conn was actually 27 at the time; as she told The Telegraph , "We stayed in character all the time we were filming Grease. It was important for regressing to those teenage years, but also for that spontaneous energy. For Conn, Frenchy reminded her of herself when she was younger.
Conn confirmed just how much fun the Grease cast had in an interview for the Daily Mail. At the wrap party, she said, they all got high! Jamie Donnelly played the pigtailed Jan in Grease. And even though Donnelly was playing a high schooler, she was 31 years old at the time. As the actress explained to People , she actually had to dye her hair for the movie as she was already going grey!
Chances are Donnelly landed the role because of her work in the staged version of Grease. Sounds like her youthful spirit made the age difference work. Dinah Manoff played Marty in Grease , and was one of the few actors who was actually pretty close to her character's age.
In fact, Manoff was just 19 years old when she was cast. As she told The Seattle Times , the actress was actually shocked to be in the film.
Of course, at 19 or 20, Manoff was still a little older than Marty. Just like the rest of the cast of Grease , Manoff had a ball on set. As she told The Sun , she even developed a bit of a schoolgirl crush on John Travolta.
I just started stuttering. You may remember Patty Simcox as the over-enthusiastic cheerleader who welcomes Sandy to her new school in Grease. In the film, she was played by Susan Buckner, who at the time was around 25 years old.
As Buckner told People , the whole cast definitely acted younger than their years. They had to bring us all in and give us a lecture. By the sound of things, Buckner had plenty of fun on the set of Grease , much like the rest of the cast. After Grease, Buckner ended up directing children's theater in Miami and raising two children. She even directed a production of Grease!
Lorenzo Lamas had a small but memorable role in Grease. He played Tom, the all-American football player who briefly dated Sandy. According to his co-star Eddie Deezen, who wrote a guest post for Neatorama , Lamas was one of the younger actors. He was, according to Deezen, just 19 years old.
In fact, Deezen believed that Lamas was the only real teenager on the Grease set! It's pretty strange to think that he was playing the boyfriend of Olivia Newton-John — who was actually 10 years his senior at the time. In , Lamas opened up about his time on Grease in an interview with Studio Saturday Night Fever John Travolta," he recalled. Sandy is the antithesis of Rizzo. Also, Who got pregnant in Grease? What is Rizzo short for?
Sandy : Danny… is this the end? But pretty much the entire cast was long past being teens. But Stockard Channing, who played the rebellious Rizzo, was 33 years old! That means she was old enough to be a tenured teacher at Rydell High. Answer: It is implied that Danny and Rizzo had a previous romantic relationship of some kind. Danny and Sandy had previously met and fallen in love during summer vacation. But at the end of the trip, they split up , with Sandy returning to her native Australia.
Kenickie Murdoch Born is one of the main characters in Grease. He is the boyfriend of Betty Rizzo. He also has a strong voice. After they all graduated from Rydell High School, Kenickie proposed to Rizzo ,and they were getting married and at the wedding Danny Proposed to Sandy, what will happen when these grease friends get married. The name Rizzo is primarily a gender-neutral name of Italian origin that means Curly Haired. Rydell High is actually three different real Los Angeles high schools.
