Romola Garai

Romola Garai Introduction

If only Patrick Swayze had been there to hold her over his head in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, Romola Garai, an eccentric hotty, would be a household name.

Romola Garai Life Story

The child of a high-ranked bank manager of Jewish Hungarian descent, Romola was discoved by an agent who, without explanation, thought she looked enought like Judi Dench to play her in younger years in a television production called The Last of the Blonde Bombshells, no word yet if the agent who thought Judi Dench was a Blonde Bombshell is still working in the business.

Her first major role was in Nicholas Nickleby which she promptly followed with I Capture the Castle, a film that has absolutely nothing to do with Castles, or any games kids play before puberty. Following a few other insignificant roles, Garai really arrived on the Hollywood scene by taking part in her first big flop, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. She vowed never to return to the land of success and she said she would do the movie again to ensure that Baby stays out of a corner and because it was reported that Patrick Swayze would sing another gay song for the movie if it were remade.
