how old is jennifer grey in dirty dancing

Jennifer Grey was 27 years old during the principal filming of Dirty Dancing, while Patrick Swayze was 34. The movie was released in 1987, with production occurring a year or two earlier, so Baby’s character is presented as a teenager in the story, though Grey herself was in her late twenties at the time of filming. If you need, I can break down the ages of Baby and Johnny as depicted in the film versus the real ages of the actors during production.
