Why in the movie Dirty Dancing did Baby get nicknamed Baby?
Baby and Johnny start out on the wrong foot. She tries to learn how to dance, but she isn’t good enough for Johnny. To him, she is a Daddy’s girl who gets whatever she wants. She wants $200 without reason, she gets it. Later on after their performance at the Sheldrake, Baby and Johnny start warming up to each other. Baby only wants her Dad to approve of Johnny, but he holds a grudge against him for something he didn’t do. He thinks Johnny got Penny pregnant and hired a quack to look in on her (not knowingly), but it was Robbie who got her pregnant. Baby has to earn her father’s trust back. Her dad forbids her to spend anymore time with “those people” and she goes behind his back. Johnny ends up getting the girl and says those famous words, “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” I loved the movie because you could feel the passion deepening between Johnny and Baby. Jennifer was one lucky girl because she got to work with one awesome actor, Patrick, who goes above and beyond the call of duty. T
