Grease 2/Trivia

Non-Trope Trivia

• Jean and Liz Sagal auditioned and were hired separately -- the production team had no idea they'd cast a pair of twins until they showed up together on the first day of shooting. The "Sorority Girls" characters were subsequently created for them.

Trivia Tropes

• Cameos:
  • Eve Arden
  • Sid Caesar
  • Dody Goodman
  • Tab Hunter
  • Connie Stevens
• The Danza: A borderline case is dancer Lucinda Dickey as "Lucy Dickens".
• Deleted Role: Didi Conn's role as "Frenchy" was written out of the script halfway through filming, which is why she basically disappears from the film in its second half.
• Hey, It's That Guy!:
  • Sharon is Doris Finsecker.
  • Johnny is Officer Vince Romano.
  • Michael is Mark Wylde and Miles Colby.
  • Liz and Jean Sagal as "the Sorority Girls".
• Retroactive Recognition: Michelle Pfeiffer as Stephanie.
• Star-Derailing Role: Grease 2 derailed the then-promising career of Maxwell Caulfield, who is on record as saying that it took him ten years to recover when no one would hire him after the movie. Michelle Pfeiffer's career wasn't so damaged, but it did take a beating (Brian De Palma initially refused to consider her for Scarface because of it).
