The director of the iconic movie musical “Grease” revealed recently that the production team almost cast an X-rated Coach Calhoun. He said that they nearly hired “Deep Throat” actor Harry Reems as Rydell High’s athletics teacher. “The studio said, ‘No no no. You can’t do that.’ And so they had to fire him,” he said.
Executives at Paramount Studios were allegedly concerned that the casting of a porn star would hinder box-office numbers. “[The screenwriter who cast him] felt so bad that he gave Harry $5,000 out of his own pocket, but the poor guy was very devastated. Because it was his moment to move from porn to the real upscale world,” said the director. Reems lamented in an interview: “Acting was my true love, and I buried that possibility by going into adult films.”
