TLDR; Raggedy Ann jumpscare

I was listening to the Grease (1978) soundtrack and I noticed that Frenchie sounded very very familiar...

so I go on IMDB to see what Didi Conn did other than Grease and like half-way through the list I'm like "I've never seen any of these why does her voice sound so familiar???" and then I see this

SHE'S FUCKING RAGGEDY ANN.

I KNOW HER. FROM THE RAGGEDY ANN MOVIE.

I can't believe this.

[frogoru]

guess who just watched grease for the first time

[shadowjackets]

Okay I just wanna say taht I've never seen the original Grease movie, but anyways

So since we know about Frenchy's family now, how do you think they would react to her pink hair ? Mainly her mom and Jane

DIDI CONN

DIDI CONN

13 July 1951

GREASE

            Didi Conn is an American actress who is best known for playing Frenchy in the film Grease (1978). She has also worked on: Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977, Raggedy Ann), Grease 2 (1982), Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000), Frida (2002), Happy Days (1975), The Love Boat (1983), The Jetsons (1985), Cagney & Lacey (1987), A Flintstone Family Christmas (1993), and Harlan Coben's Shelter (2023).

            Conn (Edith Bernstein) was born in Brooklyn, New York, US to Jewish parents. In 2008, she performed at a benefit for Barack Obama in New York. She has been married twice and has two children. Her adopted son is autistic who is a spokesperson for Autism Speaks.

            Conn got the part of Frenchy in Grease after she was able to master the ‘French inhale’ smoking trademark. The character Frenchy had to inhale the smoke from her cigarette through her nose, ‘That is the ugliest thing I ever saw’. She said working on the film Grease was a lot of fun, as many of them were adults playing teenagers. She stated all the cast got along well. Her favourite part of Grease is working with Frankie Avalon who she liked in real life and her reaction to him wasn’t an act. She wasn’t planning on making a bubble (from bubble gum), but she was able to make a bubble that got bigger and bigger and Avalon was told by the choreographer to pop it. That part of Grease wasn’t rehearsed. Conn still owns the Pink Ladies jacket and it still has a mustard stain on it, from the drive-in scene.

            She remained friends with her co-stars, including Olivia Newton-John. Olivia, 73, died of cancer in 2022. Conn became concerned about Olivia’s health a few weeks before her death.  The friends spoke at least once a month and Conn would go see her live performances. Near the end of Olivia’s show, she did a Grease part at the end and would call Conn onto the stage.

Okay Frenchy is so real.

[tforjatp]

can someone please do that thing where you save the episodes to a google drive and allow others to have access to it like someone did for Willow? That way while we try to have the show picked up by another platform we can still access it and watch it?

UPDATE:: here is the link to the rotpl episodes over google drive! thank you so much to @chlora-boii for this! ❤️❤️

Supporting Character Who Has History With the Bad Boy Lead and is Jealous of the Preppy Blonde Love Interest

A Character Named "Frenchie"

They Canceled Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies. Here’s a petition to switch it to another platform and save it.

Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies portrays a great level of diversity that is hard to rival in modern television. Characters from all ethnicities, sexualities, and social status are represented. It has an extremely dedicated fan base, but Paramount has made the decision to cancel the series and remove it show from their platform in the next week, essentially making it impossible to watch. This means that those involved with the show’s creation and production get no further compensation for their efforts. It is a tax write off for the company.

Additionally, ROTPL is (currently) destined to fall into the bin of “great sapphic representation silenced”, which also includes Everything Sucks(2019), I Am Not Okay With this(2020), and many others.

Aside from signing this petition you may also email and submit suggestions to alternative streaming platforms (such as Netflix, Hulu, Max, and Amazon Prime Video) to uptake the mantle. Other series to face cancellation have been saved in this way, notably the sitcom One Day at a Time(2017), which was initially removed from Netflix but later transferred to PopTV to finish its entire run.

Please do not let Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies die. Many of the cast have been extremely outspoken in their support of its renewal for a second season, and have been brought much grief by this sudden choice. The writers, actors, and producers should not be faulted and punished for their beautiful work, especially when ROTPL had only finished its first season 2/3 weeks before this sudden news. Revelation of its removal is frankly ridiculous, all things considered. Remember to Think Pink!
