The 2004 'reimagining' of 80s classic Dirty Dancing was met with mixed reviews and dismal box office takings - and now, 13 years later, the remake's lead actor is making shocking claims about her treatment on set. Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights was British actor Romola Garai's first - and last - Hollywood film. "Not only did it completely change how I felt about my body, but I felt like I'd failed because I hadn't fought back. She now describes the atmosphere on the ill-fated remake as "a cesspit of horrific misogyny," with body pressures even worse than those she experienced as a teenage model. "It was my feminist epiphany," she now says of her very dirty Dirty Dancing experience.
