- John Travolta as Danny Zuko. Travolta is still the one that Hollywood wants. The 69-year-old father of three, married to the late Kelly Preston, has acted in tons of movies, including Pulp Fiction (1994), Face/Off (1997), Wild Hogs (2007), Hairspray (2007), Bolt (2008), Savages (2012), Gotti (2018), The Fanatic (2019) and Paradise City (2022).
- Olivia Newton-John as Sandy Olsson. Newton-John died after a 30-year journey with breast cancer at age 73 in 2022, but her legacy will live on forever. She's best remembered for her Grammy-winning music career, rather than film (the exceptions being Grease, Xanadu and Glee).
- Stockard Channing as Betty Rizzo. Following her Grease days, Channing really hit her stride in the world of TV, playing the Emmy-winning role of First Lady Abbey Bartlet on The West Wing for seven years.
- Jeff Conaway as Kenickie. Post-Grease, Conaway earned a part on the show Taxi and continued with music as the frontman for the band 3 1/2. In his personal life, he had problems with drug use and often spoke out about his experiences with substance abuse.
- John Travolta (Danny Zuko) Before he donned Danny Zuko's leather jacket, John Travolta was already a bona fide star thanks to his roles as Vinnie Barbarino on Welcome Back, Kotter, Billy Nolan in Carrie (1976), and Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever (1977) — for which he received his first Academy Award nomination.
- Olivia Newton-John (Sandy Olsson) Already a Grammy-winning recording artist and country music star when she was cast as good-girl-gone-bad Sandy, Olivia Newton-John's career rose to greater heights after the movie became the biggest box office hit of 1978.
- Stockard Channing (Betty Rizzo) By the time she was cast as high school bad girl Rizzo, Stockard Channing had already amassed an impressive list of stage and screen credits, including a starring turn opposite Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson in Mike Nichols' The Fortune (1975).
- Jeff Conaway (Kenickie) Kenickie, the T-Birds second-in-command, was brought to the screen by Jeff Conaway. Like his costar John Travolta, Conaway appeared in the original cast of Grease on Broadway, serving as an understudy for several of the roles, eventually taking over the part of Danny Zuko.
