It was directed by Emile Ardolino, written by Eleanor Bergstein, produced by Linda Gottlieb, and starred Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, alongside Jerry Orbach, Cynthia Rhodes, and Kelly Bishop.
The soundtrack generated two multi-platinum albums and numerous singles, including the Academy Award?-winning Best Original Song “(I've Had) The Time of My Life.” With a global box office total of over $214 million, “Dirty Dancing” won over audiences all around the world.
