built 215 days ago
Saturday 5 May 2007: The second week of the live Grease is the Word television shows had the theme songs from the movies. Like last week Anthony Kavanagh was paired up with Alison and they sung 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now'. When all the 'Danny and Sandy' hopefuls had sung their songs and the public votes where added up, it was announced that Anthony and Alison had obtained enough votes to go through to next week's Grease is the Word television programme.

Interest in making a film version of “Grease” began almost immediately with ideas ranging from a completely animated version (which eventually beget the idea to do the opening credits as a cartoon) to Henry Winkler as Danny Zuko. Winkler... was already in the midst of becoming typecast as Arthur Fonzarelli on television’s mega-hit "Happy Days". Ironically, it was "Happy Days" and George Lucas’ “American Graffiti” that generated interest in speeding up a film production of Grease.

NEW YORK Summer nights were pretty special for Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski, the teenage hero and heroine of the hit stage musical-turned-blockbuster film Grease. But for 21-year-olds Max Crumm and Laura Osnes, this particular July evening is, in Crumm's words, "just insane."

The film climaxes at Thunder Road where the T-Birds have agreed to race the bad greasers led by Crater-Face (who returns for more from the T-Birds in Grease 2). Kenickie has asked Danny to be his back-up at Thunder Road, just in case, and the just in case happens when Kenickie gets konked on the head by Greased Lightning’s door when Putzie acts like a putz and opens the door right into the greaser’s head.
