Dirty Dancing’s Eleanor Bergstein took the inspiration for the movie from her own upbringing in the 1960s. She really was raised in Brooklyn to a father who was a doctor and the family really did go up to the Catskills resort every summer.
But wait, there’s more! Bergstein’s nickname really was ‘Baby’ until her mid-twenties, and she did dance with a very experienced dance instructor one summer. It’s a real case of art imitating life!
