Jennifer Grey is an actress best known for her role as Frances 'Baby' Houseman in the classic movie "Dirty Dancing." Earlier this year, the A-list actress turned 60 and she recently discussed her opinions on life with sources.

In an exclusive interview with People the 60-year-old revealed that she didn't mark her birthday in March because she doesn't believe "chronological age" requires celebration. She also considers age to be "as abstract and random as anything."
