He also teaches musical theatre at the University of Southern California. Jamie continues to act after playing dorky Pink Lady Jan. While she has appeared at various Grease celebrations, she has not had any acting credits since Lorenzo was just 18 when he played Sandy's love interest Tom one of the few actually playing his age!
Sadly, in just three months after Jeff Conaway died , she passed away from brain cancer at the age of Actor and dancer Dennis famously played the ultimate bad boy in Craterface, and he later returned for the sequel in He went on to have various roles on TV and film over the next decade.
In , he died at the age of 46 due to complications from AIDS. Both are very much tied to dreams, even if Greased Lightnin' appears to play out in real time, but that only makes the final sequence of Grease all the more confusing, because when Danny and Sandy fly off from the carnival in Greased Lightnin' it happens in the real world with all of the characters very obviously awake. Notably, Sandy is taken aback by the car taking off, which doesn't fit with it being a dream sequence. Sandy's shock is nothing compared to that of the audience, who have just watched a fairly conventional high-school musical that operates within normal rules of reality end with a car literally flying off towards a happy ending.
In that respect, it was no wonder that there was an opportunity for a fan theory to fill in the gap in logic. The starting point of the theory, which was initially posted on Reddit , is one of the lines in "Summer Night", as Sandy and Danny tell each of their listening audiences what happened during their holiday romance at the beach.
While the Grease prequel, Summer Lovin ', will presumably tell the actual story of what happened during that tryst, the only account the audience can trust is the mention of the young couple bowling in the arcade, holding hands, and drinking lemonade.
Crucially, the lyrics suggest that Danny and Sandy met when she got a cramp while swimming, and Danny saved her from drowning, before showing off " splashing around ". That may sound like Danny exaggerating what happened to make himself seem cooler in front of his friends, but the theory suggests that it actually happened, but Sandy only imagined her would-be hero rescuing her and her dying thoughts imagine a happy ending that blossomed out of their meet-cute.
From there, the theory suggests that from the prolog onwards, every event that happens in Grease plays out in Sandy's mind, and the reason everything wraps up so perfectly for every character, despite all of the conflict on the way to the finale is that it's all Sandy's tragic wish fulfillment.
As a newcomer to Rydell High , Sandy would have been an outsider, but her reality plays out just as a dream would; she is immediately accepted by the coolest group the Pink Ladies , meets the boy of her dreams again , and overcomes every issue that faces her.
Our marriage was off to a rocky start. I found myself desperately yearning to see and speak to Stockard.
