GREASE star Didi Conn is swapping jiving during summer nights to Dancing on Ice this weekend.
On Sunday (December 6), the 67-year-old actress will make her debut on the rink – but who is she and what else has she starred in?
Who is Didi Conn?
Edith Conn, née Bernstein, was born July 13, 1951, in Brooklyn, New York.
Prior to Grease Didi had only been in one movie, called You Light Up My Life.
But since the film came out, twice-married Didi has been in dozens of TV shows and films including Frida, Almost Summer, and Law & Order.
The 67-year-old has also voiced characters in Rugrats, Thomas and the Magic Railroad and The Wild Thornberrys.
Following her son Daniel’s autism diagnosis, Didi has got stuck into campaigns and fundraising activities and in 2008, she was acknowledged by charity Autism Speaks as their national celebrity spokesperson.
Is Didi Conn married?
The Dancing on Ice star married for the first time in 1975 when she wed Frank ‘Frankie’ Conn – however, they divorced three years later.
In 1983, she married composer David Shire, and the couple are still happily married today.
When did she star in Grease?
Didi is best known for her role as Frenchie in 1978 iconic American musical romantic comedy Grease.
Frenchie was Sandy’s closest friend in the Pink ladies and Didi became one of the only original cast members to reprise her role for 1982’s ill-fated sequel Grease 2.
What has Didi Conn said about Dancing on Ice?
On October 5, 2018, Didi revealed during an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine that she was the latest star confirmed to appear on Dancing On Ice.
In a statement, the actress added: “Boy oh boy, I’m going from being a Pink Lady to Queen of the Ice. I’m coming to the UK on Monday and I can’t wait to see you!”

Dancing on Ice 2019 returns to ITV on Sunday January 6 at 6pm.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
