How Lorenzo Lamas Got His Break
Description
Lorenzo Lamas got his big break in Grease after a wild twist: the original cast choice, Steven Ford, dropped out. Lamas, fresh out of military school and terrified by his mom Arlene Dahl’s bold pitch at the Oscars, ended up landing the role after dyeing his hair blond to match Olivia Newton-John. The film became a massive hit, launching Lamas into stardom with Falcon Crest and beyond — while Ford, now a veteran actor, went on to star in classics like When Harry Met Sally.
