Damn the girls are ugly!


Well mostly. Olivia Newton John is decent looking but not more than that. The rest are ugly as hell. Stockade Channing as a girl any high school guy would be interested in? Wtaf? To be fair it seems girls in general only became attractive in the 80s

reply

All of the girls in "Grease" are attractive, including Channing. The '80s, on the other hand, were probably the low point of female attractiveness of the past eighty years, with the horrid hairdos, shoulder pads, etc.

ATTRACTIVE IS SUBJECTIVE.

there was a nazi boot goth phase in the 80s that wasn't pelasant, but yes, I agree with you completely.

At least there ARE still many many MANY (majority) real women out there that prefer to know they are women and look like women. granted, some are over doing it with the foot long eyelashes, Lip PSI, and weirdo ass implants.... but those are minority too.

reply

I agree with you Chief. I can't imagine any guy finding green/blue/purple hair with tats & piercings attractive, but then again, I grew up in the conservative 80s, so I guess I am too plain for them as well.

And most likely they are not trying to attract other guys anyway, just sayin'.

I DO.

reply

Sorry, channing isn't ugly, but to say she's attractive isn't really true.

reply

She was 34 years old in Grease not that she was smoking hot as a younger women. Ironically in 1973 in "The Girl Most Likely too..." she plays another teenager who is supposed to be the ugliest girl in school who makes embarressing attempts to get a date with a boy and makes huge disaster after disaster to get a man.

Hair and make up techniques and products were crude back then, especially for gals who were trying to look like Marilyn Monroe on a Woolworth’s budget. In that respect, it was accurate. The cast were all too old to be playing teenagers.

reply

Olivia Newton John was beautiful. The actress that played Marty was also attractive, but I never like her character. But Jan, Rizzo and Frenchie? No thanks.

reply

Olivia was gorgeous.

reply

Olivia was lovely in her day.

And the Pink Ladies were attractive to the boys at school, because they were the only girls around who put out. That made them POPULAR.

reply

The styling and makeup is questionable at times, but the girls are gorgeous.

reply

None were ugly, and Dinah Minoff was pretty hot.

Minoff at 21 was maybe the closest in age to an actual high schooler of the main cast, too. A couple of them looked old enough to have actually been in high school in the late 50s

Damn the guys are ugly too, apart from John Travolta but the greaser look detracted from his looks too.

Marty Maraschino (Dinah Manoff) was pretty hot in this or Cha Cha👍
