WHERE ARE THE PINK LADIES RYDELL HIGH’S COOL GIRLS STILL RULE THE SCHOOL NOW?

Okay girls, lets go get ’em! When Grease premiered in 1978, it was an instant hit, turning John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, along with the leading cast, into stars.

- 

In particular, the Pink Ladies – Rydell High’s most popular girls – struck a chord with fans, and in the ensuing years became bona fide pop culture icons. 

As a new Paramount+ TV series, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, delves into the clique’s origins, here’s what the original queen bees did next…

DIDI CONN AS FRENCHY

Grease still remains the word for Didi. She reprised her role as loveable beauty school dropout Frenchy in the 1982 sequel alongside Michelle Pfeiffer, and made a cameo as waitress Vi in 2016’s Grease Live!

When asked about Grease’s enduring popularity, Didi, now 71, credits the cast’s genuine exuberance as the reason it’s been “passed on from generation to generation”.

Since splitting from her first husband the year Grease premiered, Didi has been married to David Shire for nearly 40 years. They have one son.
