'Grease' Actress Annette Charles Dead at Age 63
Annette Charles, who rose to fame thanks to one of the most celebrated dance sequences in film history, has died according to a report on TMZ.
Though Charles has been retired from acting for over two decades, generations of fans continue to swoon over her "Grease" character Cha Cha Digregorio; in one of the most famous moments from the beloved 1978 musical, Charles steps in as John Travolta's partner to win a nationally televised dance contest.
Charles, who reportedly was suffering from lung cancer, was 63.
