Nicole Scherzinger’s is doing God’s work in her Dirty Dancing role
To the career of Nicole Scherzinger, now, and a reminder that unlike the rest of us, actors never take jobs for a payday. They are better than that. There is almost always a desire to educate and inform the benighted public about a moral issue close to the star’s heart. How else do you think things like ABC’s sensationally unnecessary Dirty Dancing reboot get made?
It is certainly what prompted the former Pussycat Doll singer’s decision to refuse whatever other offers may have been out there – anyone? – in favour of playing Penny in the forthcoming drama. Now, if you don’t watch Dirty Dancing biannually while getting wasted with six girlfriends, I should probably remind you that Penny is the resort dance pro who gets pregnant by a no-good chancer of a waiter, and ends up having a backstreet abortion, the complications of which are eventually sorted out by Baby’s doctor father.
Alas, the offer of this role put Nicole in a corner. You see, as she is at pains to stress, she is profoundly anti-abortion. “I was like a crazy thing,” she reflects, “because my family … my papa’s a bishop and my family’s really hardcore against abortion. So I got the role and I almost didn’t take it because I didn’t want to promote abortion, because my character has an abortion.”
