'Grease' number about Sandra Dee

I'm a huge fan of "Grease" and couldn't help but run the song through my head when Troy Donahue was beating the snot out of Sarah Jane.

I mean, really...would he pull that crap with Annette?

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.

I'm confused by your comment. Sandra Dee didn't play Sarah Jane.

I see what you mean.

It was the lyric "as for you, Troy Donahue, I know what YOU wanna do..." - that's what I associate with his character beating up Sarah Jane in the alley.

Whenever I see him in anything, or hear him mentioned, the line from A Chorus Line runs through my head: "If Troy Donahue could be a movie star, then I could be a movie star."

Thank you for explaining...that makes sense. Sorry about my comment - I haven't seen Grease in a long time and forgot about that line.

Oh, that's cool.
