• Baby The rhinoplasty that destroyed the career of Jennifer Grey, star of Dirty Dancing

Jennifer Grey,

star of the famous film

Dirty Dancing

, has returned to the forefront of today's media,

35 years after

playing the young Baby in the film that marked a generation at the end of

the 80s

. The actress , 62-year-old daughter of Oscar winner Joel Gray, is about to publish her

autobiography

(scheduled for release on May 3), titled

Out of the Corner

, as Swayze quoted in the film that launched it to popularity to tell

unpublished details

of his professional and personal life.

In a recent interview with People

magazine

, the movie star explained the reasons why she decided to take this step: "I wanted to get out of my corner. Recognize that

I have put myself in the corner

throughout my history. The story of my life that I was telling myself about how I got here was not good.

It hasn't all been true

and I haven't realized some of the choices I've made over time."

In this way, in his memoirs Gray has wanted to

review his own life

and the myths around him.

From the particular learning of her youth about issues such as

beauty or ethics

in her work to her sentimental relationships with celluloid stars such as

Johnny Depp

or

Matthew Broderick

, after becoming one of the most recognized actresses to world level.

How could it be otherwise, Jennifer has also spoken loud and clear about her controversial relationship

with cosmetic surgery.

Specifically, the actress has recalled the recurring theme of

rhinoplasty

that changed her particular face.

Two operations on the nose that, according to critics,

completely disfigured

the actress's face, leaving her unrecognizable.

In this regard, the interpreter wanted to point to the one that for her has been the real person responsible for her particular displacement: "I spent a lot of energy trying to find out what I had done wrong, to know why I had been banished from the kingdom, but that was another lie.

I banished myself."

In his day, his physical change was, for public opinion

, the real trigger

for the drop in level in his career as an actress.

She herself recounts in her literary work some of the most delicate moments experienced after going through the operating room.

"The first time I went out to the public after the operation I had

the feeling of being completely invisible,

from one day to the next. In the eyes of the world it was not me. The strange thing was that I had resisted my whole life to have my nose done I

got mad at my mom because she insisted

I do it. It was finally like surrendering to the enemy."

After that decision came the other fears: "I just thought I wasn't good enough and I shouldn't have had to do this because

I was beautiful enough."

In addition to talking about this controversial issue, Jennifer also touches on

her flirtation with drugs

and the relationship she once had

with Patrick Swayze,

co-star of the film that made her famous and with whom, despite the success of her love story on set, he didn't have much chemistry: "In the same way that Baby and Johny weren't supposed to be together as a natural couple, and that created tension,

we weren't a natural couple.

The fact that we needed to be in the scene it generated that tension that was perceived (...)

We were forced to be together

and that obligation created a kind of synergy, or like a friction". A feeling that, during his meeting with the press, caused Gray to fondly remember his partner: "In fact, I think about Patrick now and I feel that I would be able to tell him anything now.

He would tell him I

'm sorry I couldn't appreciate and revel

in that moment with who he was, instead of wishing he was more like I needed him to be."

On the possibility that they would have had something more offstage, as their fans once wanted, Gray was clear:

"He was married and very much in love with his wife

and I was very busy with Matthew (Broderick)."
