The actors, who starred in the iconic 1982 sequel Grease 2, hit the red carpet during the 2026 TCM Classic Film Festival at The Hollywood Roosevelt this week. Anyone familiar with the film will recognize the stars from their iconic roles. Luft, the daughter of Judy Garland, played blonde Paulette, while Zmed and McDonald played greaser T-Birds Johnny Nogarelli and Goose McKenzie.

If you need a quick flashback, here's a reminder:
“We did not have the kind of relationship thatJohn Travolta and Olivia Newton-John did,” he explained. “They were so symbiotic, they absolutely loved each other. Michelle and I only had to play being in love. And we both just got married. So, there was no question about any [lines] being crossed in that regard.”
While all the stars of the original film were instantly skyrocketed to superstardom, the actors weren’t sure how the response to Grease 2 would be in the public eye.
What Happened to Caulfield After ‘Grease 2’?
Caulfield and Pfeiffer soon figured out what would happen in response to the film when it flopped. Hated by critics and pummeled by Steven Spielberg‘s E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial at the box office, the movie didn’t get the response they hoped for. However, Pfeiffer’s star began to shine brightly. In 1983, she starred as the troubled Elvira Hancock in Scarface opposite Al Pacino.
Caulfield still hoped to find success and had several good roles. He did 49 episodes of The Colbys, a Dynasty spinoff starring Charlton Heston. Still, he hoped for film stardom.
Of course, that iconic film role came several years later with his turn as the egomaniacal pop star Rex Manning in 1995’s Empire Records.
As for his relationship with Pfeiffer, Caulfield said he’d love to star opposite the film icon.
A prolific stage actor, Caulfield recently starred in The Lost Gospel of Pontius Pilate.
