THE BEST DANCER AT ST. BERNADETTE'S -- WITH THE WORST REPUTATION:  A melancholy farewell to Cal State-Northridge speech professor Annette Charles, better known to all of us for her memorable work as a character actress in one scene, in one movie, in 1978. When the producers of Grease needed a hussy to steal Danny Zuko on the dance floor, they found their Cha Cha DiGregorio in Annette Charles, and she absolutely delivered. Clip below the fold.

  1. That Travolta kid's not so bad either, by the way.

    Huh.  I remember her more in the drag racing scene, dropping the scarf to start the race.

    Well, I hope she and Jeff Conaway are living it up, wherever that are now.

    So young... it always makes me sad when I read that a parent outlived her child. She was, indeed, fabulous. May she rest in peace.
