Completely new look for “Dirty Dancing” star. For a new movie, Jennifer Gray had to undergo a stark transformation.
Actress Jennifer Gray (62) became famous for her role as the dancer Baby in the film “Dirty Dancing”. In her new film “Starving for Salvation” she embodies Gwen Shamblin Lara (1955-2021), an American who made a name for herself in the 1980s with her rigorous diet program. For this role, Gray has undergone a significant transformation. In the film, she mimics Shamblin’s expressionless, blank expression, and her strikingly blonde hair matches that. She shared a corresponding photo on Instagram, the followers are enthusiastic. For example, the actress Sasha Alexander (49) comments: “AH-MA azing!” (German: «Great!»). Colleague Beth Grant (73) writes: “Are you kidding me? Fantastic!» (German: «Are you kidding me? Fantastic!»).
A week before this post, Gray already published a photo in which she slipped into the role of the dietician – without revealing any details about the film.

The premiere of “Starving for Salvation” is scheduled for February 4, 2023 on the film channel Lifetime. The story focuses on Shamblin’s success with her controversial diet plan, in which she incorporated Christianity. The film’s production company says of Shamblin: “At the height of her power and influence, Gwen demanded that church members alienate themselves from all who were not members. She banned those who became obese, threatened legal action against dissenters, and advocated severe punishment for those who disobeyed church teachings.” (praise)
