Grease Rizzo star completely unrecognisable 45 years on from famous film

Grease was an iconic movie that changed the lives of many actors and actresses involved.

John Travolta took on the lead role of Danny and Olivia Newton-John took on lead woman Sandy.

However, there were other stand-out actors and actresses in the movie including Stockard Channing who took on the role of bad girl Rizzo.

45 years after the career-defining movie, the actress has been pictured attending the opening night of Medea in London’s West End and looks completely different.

The star has ditched the signature dark bob and then instead sported longer and light brown locks.

However, she still had the same signature cheeky smile as the character that she played 45 years ago.

Later in her career, Stockard went on to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for 1993’s Six Degrees Of Separation.

Other credits include First Wives Club, Smoke, and The Business of Strangers.

The radiant star went on to feature in the First Lady Abbey Bartlet on The West Wing.

In the past, the star has spoken out about how she thinks that feminism had been “given a bad name”.

She said on The Andrew Marr Show in 2017: “It seems [to be] like the ‘we hate men’ thing, which in my recollection wasn’t the case at all.”

“It was really about being equal to men – obviously we still don’t have the equal pay thing, but we’ve got an awful lot. It’s a cliche but it’s true: a lot of young women take [things] for granted.”

“When I was in college I remember that kitchen table stuff,” she went on.

“It was really scary – life-threatening – and that something that a lot of people seem to take for granted. It could be taken away.”

Grease will celebrate 45 years since its release later this month.
