Ed Byrnes was another heartthrob who joined the cast. He was also known for his singing talents.
Many members of the cast were well-established actors with plenty of experience. They included character actors such as Sid Caesar and Dody Goodman. A few of them had acted in stage productions of Grease but took on different roles than they’d had before. Jeff Conway was Danny on stage but played Kinickey in the film and gave the leading role to John Travolta. He gave extra emotional weight to his new role.

Many members of the Grease cast had successful careers after the film wrapped. A few moved to different paths, such as Annette Charles who became a college professor. Many were open about their struggles with addiction. Jeff Conway appeared on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Ed Byrnes was inspired to get clean by his father’s death of cirrhosis of the liver. They all fit their roles perfectly, from the principal delivering morning announcements to the malt shop worker. Grease fans should appreciate them all for their efforts because it helped create the film they love.

It's heart-wrenching to see so many beloved cast members of Grease pass away this year.

Such a great movie. It never gets old. We've lost a lot of the cast, but thank goodness for the memories they've left with us. 🕊️🙏❤️

A great testimony for those who have passed. My favorite was "Frenchie". Didi Conn did a great performance, including her description to Sandy's reaction to piercing her earlobes! LOL...

This iconic movie will be a record of the past for future generations to look back and give them a taste of what society was like. Thanks for the memories.

I loved the entire cast, and I still love watching this movie.

You forgot to mention Golden Age Hollywood actress Joan Blondell. She played the😮 waitress Vi in the film.
She had an incredible career in film and then on television. Appearing in countless films and TV shows.

DANNY ( JOHN Travolta) was my favorite

You forgot Edd Byrnes, who played Vince Fontaine.

I think only Susan Buckner (Patty Simcox) has died in 2024(so far). All the others died in other years. I think the first was Joan Blondell (Wi) the waitress at the Frosty Palace in 1979. And Olivia Newton- John in 2022 being the most recant. Before Susan Buckner this year, that is.

Wait! This is for GREASE stars who passed in 2024.
Then why are most deaths in different years?

You forgot Edd Byrnes and Annette Charles.
