Thirty-three years after Jennifer Grey first flung herself into the arms of Patrick Swayze, the actress is set to reprise her role as Baby Houseman in a much-anticipated “Dirty Dancing” sequel, which she will also executive produce.

Details of the upcoming follow-up are top-secret, but Grey, 60, tells the People magazine the film won’t try to recapture the chemistry she had with Swayze, who died in 2009 of pancreatic cancer.

“All I can say is there is no replacing anyone who’s passed — you never try to repeat anything that’s magic like that,” she says in this week’s issue. “You just go for something different.”

Grey recently partnered with Celltrient Cellular Nutrition from Néstle Health Science, a new portfolio of nutritional beverages and supplements designed to work within cells to help renew and restore cells’ natural processes.

Reflecting on “Dirty Dancing”’s enduring popularity, Grey says “its appeal was that it was very genuine and simple.”

“It was about innocence and the way that innocence is lost and how people explode into a different iteration of themselves,” she says of the 1987 romance about a teen who falls for her dance instructor.
