After so many years, I don’t think there’s ever been a Rizzo as charming or easy to connect with as Stockard Channing.
Channing was a wonderful actor, and her singing in Grease was amazing. But now, at 80 years old, she looks very different, almost like a different person.

The first movie I ever saw Stockard Channing in was called “The Big Bus,” and I thought it was really funny. But back then, I never imagined she would have such an amazing career.
Today, Stockard Channing is most famous for playing Betty Rizzo in the movie “Grease,” which came out in 1978. It’s a popular American romantic comedy musical based on a stage musical from 1971. Many people agree that Channing did the best job of all the actresses who played Rizzo.
You might also know Channing from the TV show “The West Wing,” where she played Abbey Bartlet, the wife of the President. People loved her chemistry with Martin Sheen, who played the President.
