It’s Cold In Here
That classic lift scene became one of the most iconic movie moments of all time. However, Jennifer and Swayze had to jump through uncomfortable hoops to get that picture-perfect scene. That’s because the lift on the lake was shot in North Carolina, whilst the other scenes were shot in Virginia. It was also filmed in October while the lake was uncomfortably cold. In reality, the scene had to be shot from further away to hide the fact that their lips had turned blue from the freezing weather!

Time To Prove Yourself
Although Swayze originally wanted Jennifer Grey to take on the part of Baby, before she was given the role she still had to prove herself. That’s because Jennifer was ten years older than the character she was playing, so she was given a five minute audition to show she could pull it off. Well, it actually took only took five minutes to do the trick and Jennifer then landed one of the most symbolic roles of her acting career.
