Jennifer Grey is 50 years old. 50. Think about how much more impressive that made the actress’ Dancing With the Stars debut. Grey leads outright with 24 points!

While The Situation and Bristol Palin get more press, the Dirty Dancing star and Derek Hough got more points – 8s from all three judges for their Viennese Waltz.

“I’m surprised at how much fun it was to perform it,” Jennifer said, noting that she feared coming on DWTS. Hough praised Grey as “honest” and “uplifting.”

Not in the literal sense. Grey reportedly refuses to be lifted in the air on the show, which is too bad. Oh well. Check out her first routine of the season here:
