American actress Edith Conn AKA “Didi” was in her mid-20s when she skyrocketed to fame playing Frenchy — the high school senior and ‘beauty school dropout’ who mistakenly dyes her hair hot pink — in the 1978 musical/comedy film “Grease.”
Edith shared the big screen with Hollywood legends like John Travolta as the hot and suave leader of the T-Birds, Danny Zuko, Olivia Newton-John as the new and naive girl at school, Sandy and Michael Tucci as Marty’s silly, goofy boyfriend and part of the T-Birds.
Other honorable cast mentions include Stockard Channing as Rizzo!
“Beauty school dropout, no graduation day for you!”
