Trained as a dancer and gymnast, Rhodes had already appeared in Flashdance and Staying Alive before being cast in Dirty Dancing. A minor pop sensation herself as lead singer of Animotion, Rhodes starred in ’80s music videos like Toto’s “Rosanna” and Richard Marx’s “Don’t Mean Nothing”—the latter of which was fateful, as she and Marx got married two years later, in 1989. The couple have three sons together. Sadly, they announced their separation in 2014.
