''You're the One That I Want'' was almost a duet between the Fonz and Laurie Partridge. Before casting John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in Grease, producer Allan Carr tried to get Happy Days' Henry Winkler and The Partridge Family's Susan Dey to take the lead roles. Winkler and Dey missed out on joining a not-so-exclusive club of stars who've appeared in some incarnation of Grease. Here are some other famous alums of Rydell High and their recent gigs.
