Article Updated on October 21, 2020 By Kim

Cynthia Rhodes Biography and Wiki

Cynthia Rhodes is a retired American singer, actress, and dancer. She has film roles in Flashdance (1983), Jackie in Staying Alive (1983) and Penny in Dirty Dancing (1987).

Cynthia began her brief show business career working at Opryland USA as a singer and also a dancer while attending Glencliff High School during the 1970s.

Being raised in a Baptist family, she tried to maintain a clean-cut image in her acting roles and also in the media, rejecting scripts that required nudity and turning down offers to pose for pictorials in Playboy magazine. Sylvester Stallone, who is the director of Staying Alive, stressed these facts by affirming that Rhodes “would sooner quit the business before doing anything to embarrass her parents.”

She played a small role in the fantasy musical Xanadu (1980) with her next role as Tina Tech in the musical film Flashdance. After the film, Cynthia was cast opposite John Travolta in Sylvester Stallone’s 1983 film Staying Alive, a sequel to the 1977 hit film Saturday Night Fever.

Her character, Jackie, was also an ensemble dancer, bar band singer, and sometime love interest of Travolta’s character, Tony Manero. The film was commercially successful while poorly reviewed.

Cynthia earned her first non-dance related role in Michael Crichton’s 1984 science-fiction thriller ‘Runaway’ featuring Tom Selleck, Kirstie Alley, and Gene Simmons. Her most renowned role was as dance instructor Penny Johnson in the hit 1987 motion picture Dirty Dancing featuring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze.

Rhodes’ last motion picture role was the character of Vickie Phillips with actor Jameson Parker in the sleeper action-adventure movie ‘Curse of the Crystal Eye’.

She also appeared as a dancer in music videos, such as “Rosanna” by the band Toto, “The Woman in You” by the Bee Gees, and “Don’t Mean Nothing” by Richard Marx. In the early 1980s, Rhodes was a dancer for the glam rock band The Tubes when they toured.

Cynthia later joined the 1980s pop group Animotion, she replaced the group’s singer Astrid Plane for the recording of its third album of original material. Though the group’s single “Room to Move” rose to No. 9 on the Billboard charts, the album later failed to match the group’s earlier success, peaking at only No. 110 on the pop charts where shortly thereafter, the group disbanded.

Cynthia co-wrote the smooth jazz track “Perfect Day” with then-husband Richard Marx for December, trumpeter Chris Botti’s holiday album in 2002.
