Such a beautiful group, and such a shame about all the drugs...

"Kookie, Kookie....Lend me your comb!" were the lyrics to a popular song back then.

My favorite actors on Grease are Stockard Channing, Eve Arden, Jeff Conway, Ed Byrnes, Dee Dee Cahn .Annette “Cha Cha”, so many “favorites ..hard to choose just one. ❤ My Alma mater John Marshall High School was used for the carnival scene.

Umm so you did Olivia twice for some reason but didn’t mention Rizzo at all??

[andreajanota]

I actually lost a friend in an almost exact situation as Dinah’s son, except it was construction gravel instead of snow and ice but the rest of it was almost identical. RIP to him.

[DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

I wish John Travolta would leave the cult, come out of the closet & finally be happy.

[RobSmith-yerk]

Why are so many actors, actresses and rockers involved with drugs and alcohol?

Susan Buckner, aka Patty Simcox, just recently passed away.
