Grease : Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Sandy was a really pretty and cute girl, but at the end they decided to give her a makeover to look like a complete hooker and then suddenly everyone is like OMFG she's hot. Does anyone here actually prefer her looks at the end?

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Not me, I'd take Sandra Dee any day over a Vamp.

. Ephemeron.

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

The Vamp look is way sexier. The other look was just an ordinary school girl/ house dress getup. Boring.

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

I think she looked great either way. Sandy was pretty

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

True

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

I think it was mostly just an interpretation that she had reached adulthood. I never took as anything else and would think one would be an idiot to do so.

I thought she looked great as vamp and it wasnt really her. She was just trying to prove Danny what he was missing. Which was acceptable. Had it actually been her it wouldve been a turn off.

I agree naturally Sandy was better normally but a vamp for just a day couldnt hurt.

As said, Sandy was pretty in any way.

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

I also didn't like the makeover they gave Danny, turning him into a jock with that awful sweater. He was practically some kind of geek!

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

I agree - Sandy was much prettier when she was dressed like a nice, wholesome girl. I think most guys prefer that look over the slutty look she had at the end of the movie.

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

I never once saw ONJ as looking slutty after her Grease makeover. She was attractive either way, (heck, she was ONJ), she gave herself over to the cool look, which complemented Danny perfectly, as both Travolta and ONJ complemented each other beautifully as an onscreen couple.

Their charisma together was just magic and a one, or is that two, of a kind.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

I think the fact that she's so slender makes her look less sexual while still being pretty and sassy

A more voluptuous woman's breasts and bum would be bouncing and that would have a more sexual feel

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

ONJ also had an ethereal and gentle quality about herself that transformed her. She was a rare soul and I don’t feel she even had much of a dark side, if one at all.

She was only parodying coolness with a humorous dose of trampiness in Grease at the end, yet it all worked within context and she got away with it.

Michelle Pfeiffer just came across as bitchy to me in a Grease 2 and the acting talent she possessed wasn’t really evident here. Poor direction.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

I thought the same about ONJ

She seemed like someone who didn't have a mean bone in her body

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

She only made 3 major movies, 2 of them flops. It would have been nice to have seen her on the big screen more.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

True

She was the most successful musically because of her beautiful voice

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

She could really reach those notes. Perhaps she didn’t really want to be a part of corrupted Hollywarped after getting a taste of it. Sleazy producers would have likely been drooling over her too.

She would have had more control over her music, since she was top tier pop artist. Her success was thoroughly deserved.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Yes, probably

Like what Linda Ronstadt would say when she was asked about going into acting

She said that she had worked so hard on her craft that why would she want to do anything else

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

I would have liked to have seen De Palma cast Ronstadt in Phantom Of The Paradise - '74 as was allegedly intended, instead of deciding on bland Jessica Harper. She was a much better singer and would have sold the role of the talented Phoenix more believably.

Travolta is quoted as saying he had to push for ONJ to play Sandy. Ronstadt and Marie Osmond were considered for her and he didn't think they would have been quite as right. He was right!

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

I didn't know that about Travolta ~ nice!

Ronstadt had a powerful, strong voice and an amazing range

Sad that she can no longer sing, although her voice will always live on, and she shared her gift with us for many years

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Very nice to see their closeness

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Olivia had a nice comic timing too.

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Great scene! Loved Lily Tomlin at the end too

Have you seen Carnal Knowledge? Candice was quite a beauty

Yes! I like Carnal Knowledge.

I never went out of my way to watch MB, but it was a decent passable time filler when I did view it.

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

I don't mind her looks at the end.
I just find it unbelievable that she went from Sandra Dee to be a greaser's girl just like that.

Here we go again with the girl giving into the guy and doing it for him and what he wants.

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Wasn’t Danny what she decided she wanted?

It’s disempowering, heterosexist endorsement from a social construct pov, yet the film ended on fantasy imagery, so it wasn’t exactly making any bold statements about societal conditioning

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

"…the film ended on fantasy imagery…"

Right, with a car that flies in the air.

It is a fun movie and I don't get my underwear in knots.

I guess I was sharing it from a feminists perspective.

Now why would you want to do that?

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Costume department did her dirty the whole film. especially her hair with that bloody fringe.

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Oh, I already replied lmao

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Agreed. She looked awful considering it was supposed to be a glow up.

Re: Sandy looked terrible at the end.

Her and John looked in their 30s by the end
