Recently, Didi Conn, bought the television rights to Grease on television and rumors of a sequel set in the 70's at a reunion of Rydell High are out there now, with Conn as producer. One wonders who, of the original cast, would agree to participate (particularly Newton-John and Travolta).Rewind Archive

Maxwell Caulfield also appeared in the film "Empire Records" as Rex Manning, an egotistical pop star.

Connie Stevens, who played Miss Mason in Grease 2, the come-hither, cleavage-baring teacher seducing Mr. Stuart, is well-known for her numerous guest appearances on "The Love Boat", her slue of tv shows in the 1960s, her sexy kitten-voice (that most men over 50 are more familiar with than their own wives'; akin to Ann Margaret's), and her role in "Back to the Beach", playing herself, a former beach blanket betty, who threatens to woo Frankie Avalon from Annette Funicello, but is really just a sweetheart in a sex pistol's body. She was married to Eddie Fisher once upon a time, then again, who wasn't? Actress, Joely Fisher, is her daughter.Thanks to Emily
When Mrs. Megee is walking Mr. Stuart out of her office after the song "Reproduction", two girls walk in and one of them asks to talk to Mrs Megee, because she missed her last two periods, so it is actually implied that, while none of the main characters seem to be having sex, someone in the school is.Thanks to Brian
