However, Broderick struck with another automobile while driving on the wrong side of the road, culminating in a terrible car accident injuring the couple. In the other car was a mother and her daughter, who were both murdered instantly.
Charges against Broderick for reckless driving were eventually dropped. Jennifer Grey, on the other hand, only sustained minor physical injuries and bruises, but her psychological wounds persisted.
Just a few days later was the Dirty Dancing debut. But even though the movie was a hit, Grey was unable to appreciate it.
It just didn’t sit right to be praised as the next big thing in the midst of such intense grief and survivor’s guilt. According to the Daily Mirror, Grey remarked, “It didn’t feel good to be the toast of the town.”
The actress will never fully recover from the emotional anguish induced by the accident.
She told People, “My ambition and my head were never the same.”
