What was once a door was a blackened crush of metal wrapped around this frame.” “I spat out a mouthful of what I thought were my broken teeth. “As I jerked my head up, I saw something completely filling the windshield, and there it was, like a sledgehammer. “The smell of acrid burning metal, like bumper cars, and the temperature, so hot, like we were in an incinerator. “I was experiencing a dark night of the soul, but I couldn’t figure out how to rescue myself except to keep functioning...

Jennifer Grey's memoir "Out of the Corner," gets candid about the "Dirty Dancing" star's nose job, her Jewishness and her romantic life. %
Upset that her nose was a “problem” for casting directors, if not herself, she nonetheless is guilty of sorting attractiveness and Jewishness into discrete boxes. You may not know that Grey (whose father, Joel, changed his name from Katz, the last name of his klezmer parodist father, Mickey) was partaking in a family tradition when she did her nose. In making her point, Grey recalls the moment in Bob Fosse’s film version of the musical where her dad, as the ghoulish Weimar performer, dances with a female gorilla, singing about society’s disapproval of their relationship. For the first 29 years of her life, the “Dirty Dancing” star’s trademark proboscis was her pesky “friend,” demanding three-quarter profile headshots. In an opening prologue – a magazine-ready excerpt – she explains that she in fact had two procedures. Reading these reflections in “Out of the Corner,” a negative that can’t be proven arises.
In her new memoir, “Out of the Corner,” Jennifer Grey tells a life story as wildly entertaining as the movie that shot her to fame, “Dirty Dancing.”
She told AARP about her memories — and how not to let fate put you in a corner. I was nervous. I heard his dog whistle, and he heard mine. Director John Hughes and I just fused our energy, brought out the best in each other. Weeks later, Grey got engaged again, to Johnny Depp — and had another traumatic breakup. After Francis Ford Coppola cast her, at age 24, in The Cotton Club, her life got even starrier: She won overnight fame as Baby Houseman, the dirty dancer hoisted to glory by Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze). She then got engaged to Matthew Broderick, whose bad-boyfriend behavior inspired her close friend Madonna to write the hit “Express Yourself” about their relationship.
There's more to Jennifer Grey than rhinoplasty gone wrong and "Dirty Dancing." In her new memoir "Out of the Corner," Grey reclaims her narrative.
So in a way, the accident that I thought was maybe one of the worst things that happened to me saved my life. Grey: I'm going to be playing Baby as an adult and also working as executive producer of the film, and I can tell you it will involve Kellerman's (Mountain House), music, dancing and romance. I interpreted it as my power that I was in those situations, but it was my not having the ability to assess how dangerous it was and how a person who puts themselves in that position is not someone who really values themselves the way I wished I had valued myself. It might come out in ways that hurt or sting or may not be the most productive, but never in my entire life would my mother aim to say anything to hurt me . It's just not even in the realm of possibility. I believe that everything that really got my attention like getting my heart broken, getting in a car accident, and being injured – each of them changed me. What I knew was that there was a certain amount of grace to my ex-husband and I separating. It is one of those things where you're taking your history and everything you've learned and you're trying (impart) it to this being. And my mother, I believe, like a lot of mothers – we project onto our kids feelings about ourselves, and also the ways in which we want to protect our children and keep them out of harm's way. When I think about her in those situations, I find it stunning that I didn't understand how much it was going to cost me. I got more out of writing this book than all the years of therapy because I wanted to be unflinching in my desire for my truth. And on some level, I believed that that was true and that it was a reflection of my worth. Grey: It was a very introspective time for a lot of people.
Meanwhile, her tumultuous off-screen relationship and breakup with Ferris Bueller co-star Matthew Broderick and a whirlwind nine-month engagement to Johnny Depp ...
It was much more important to write about what it felt like to me because it was so impactful and it was so messy. I think the corner is up to all of us. My inherent value is the same as when I was born, the same as before I got Dirty Dancing, when I did Dirty Dancing, when I did my nose, when they decided I wasn’t me, when I became a mother, and [when] I wrote a book. I thought it was great, and looking back on it, it was insane. It is the natural course of events to becoming your own person to break the bonds of whatever is expected of you. SE: The book begins with the story about your nose job, which halted your career just as it was taking off. I felt like I was the luckiest person in the world. I was taken to the ballet and brought to the theater, and I thought of it all as a good thing. I don’t believe that anything my parents ever did was meant to be anything but loving and supportive of me, period. SE: You write in the book that growing up, you were always known as a famous actor’s daughter, like it was a title that you carried around. It’s been an intense pregnancy, and now it seems to be an intense birth, but it looks like the baby’s going to be okay. When a second surgery was required to fix a slight issue resulting from the first rhinoplasty, it completely changed her appearance and set her life on an entirely different trajectory.
