TV Guide Network planning Christmas Day “Dirty Dancing” marathon
Instead of celebrating 12 days of Christmas, the TV Guide Network this year is marking the holiday with 12 hours of “Dirty Dancing.”
The cable channel is planning a 12-hour marathon of the 1987 box-office smash from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday.
Set in the summer of 1963, “Dirty Dancing” tells the story of 17-year-old Baby (Jennifer Grey), who vacations with her parents at a resort in the Catskills Mountains. While there, she meets Johnny (Patrick Swayze), the hotel dance instructor, who becomes her teacher not only in dance but in romance.
The coming-of-age story is one of Swayze’s best-known roles. Swayze died in September of pancreatic cancer.
