- Overview
- Appearance
- Personality
Martina Maraschino, more commonly known as Marty, is one of the protagonists in the movie Grease, and is one of the members of the Pink Ladies. Her boyfriend is Sonny.
In the 1978 movie Marty is played by Dinah Manoff, in the 2016 live performance by Keke Palmer.
She has light brown curly hair and brown eyes.
Her first outfit was a pink V-neck sweater with a blue pencil skirt and matching heels & scarf, as well as her pink ladies jacket that was shown in the first scene of the movie.
Her second outfit was a black halter top, black pedal pushers, black cinch belt, black heels and pink scarf with Pink Ladies jacket.
For the sleep-over scene, she is wearing a white embellished nightie and white panties with her red Japanese kimono. Her hair is pinned up in rollers in a hair net. She also donned a blond wig for "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee".
Her next outfit was a black scoop neck shirt, an orange pencil skirt with matching scarf, purse, and heels. Her Bandstand outfit was a strapless sweetheart neckline jade green ruched dress and matching flower in her hair, silver heels.
She is then seen at the drive-in in a purple elbow length scoop neck shirt, black cinch belt,light purple and dark purple patterned pedal pushers, white canvas shoes and black purse, holding her Pink Ladies jacket.
Marty often tries to act sophisticated. She is generally kind, but can be uninterested with conversations unless they are about her or juicy gossip. In "Summer Nights", she doesn't seem to care about what Sandy is saying, along with Rizzo. Marty is very concerned with appearing mature and not seeming juvenile, as indicated by her embarrassment when Jan acts childish. This is probably due to her romantic life; Marty has many pen-pals who she claims sarcastically to be "hopelessly devoted" to. One of them is a marine deployed to Korea. She’s attracted to older gentlemen, and is flattered by the sophisticated and charming Vince Fontaine flirting with her at the Rydell dance.
Trivia
She is best known for her roles as Carol Weston on Empty Nest, Elaine Lefkowitz on Soap, Marty Maraschino in the film Grease, and Libby Tucker in both the stage and film adaptations of I Ought to Be in Pictures, for which she won a Tony Award.
Quotes. Marty : Do you think these glasses make me look smarter? Rizzo : No, you can still see your face. Rizzo : [after telling Marty that she thinks she might be pregnant] Marty, you ain't gonna tell anybody about this, right? Marty : Oh sure, Riz, look: I'll take it to the grave.
- 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.
