Born in New York City to legendary actress Lee Grant and writer Arnold Manoff, writer and actress Dinah Manoff was destined for Hollywood. She’s a Tony Award winner with numerous theater and some of the greatest TV credits under her belt. But it was probably her role on the big screen playing Pink Lady Marty Maraschino in the movie Grease that captured the hearts of millions.

Her latest work is a fabulous fiction book, The Real True Hollywood Story of Jackie Gold, that she recently turned into an audiobook.

Manoff says Jamie Lee Curtis describes it best as “A brilliant rewinding of a life of Hollywood glitz, grit, gluttony, and nose jobs.” 

We agree, it is brilliant. Listening to her beautiful voice act it out with the equally fantastic cast of characters she brought on board to help bring a whole new perspective to the story, making it even more entertaining. And of course, hearing her act again makes it even more magical since, unfortunately for us, she stepped back from the scene several years ago.

This is a LifeMinute with the amazingly warm-hearted, multi-talented, and funny human that is Dinah Manoff.
