Omg blaming her post Dirty Dancing trainwreck of a career on the accident
Quote:
In 1987, Matthew Broderick and his then girlfriend and Ferris Bueller's Day Off co-star, Jennifer Grey, were on vacation in Ireland. Broderick mistakenly drove the wrong way on a street and crashed into on oncoming vehicle. The driver and passenger in the other car both died from their injuries.
"This was the first i had ever heard of this accident with Matthew Broderick and Jennifer Gray which killed a mother and daughter. It seems to have really had a huge effect on Jennifer Gray from what she said here:
“The juxtaposition of that deep sorrow, the survivor’s guilt, and then being celebrated as the new big thing just didn’t jibe. It didn’t feel good to be the toast of the town.”
And she admits she never recovered from the trauma, effectively turning her back on showbiz at the age of 27: “My head was never the same, my ambition was ever the same.”
