Jennifer Grey – 61 Years Old

Jennifer Grey is one of those actresses that may have been an A-list star today but got derailed somewhat due to unfortunate circumstances. She became known during the 1980s for her iconic roles in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Dirty Dancing, and Red Dawn. While her roles during that time made her a superstar in the making, two events changed her fortunes. First, she suffered a severe injury in a car collision in 1987 while with her boyfriend, Matthew Broderick, who starred as Ferris Bueller. Second, her rhinoplasty operation in the early 1990s made her unrecognizable even to her close friends.

Grey, who is now 61, has managed to restart her career, beginning in the late 2000s. Her performance and eventual win in Dancing with the Stars in 2010 can be credited for her career resurgence. She has starred in the comedy series Red Oaks and lent her voice in Phineas and Ferb during its run. Overall, Grey’s career has been quite good.
