Jennifer Grey

She is the daughter of well-known stage and screen actor Joel Grey and the granddaughter of comedian/musician Mickey Katz. Accompanying the film is music from a recording called "Holiday in Brazil." In 2001 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. She starred in the 1987 hit movie Dirty Dancing. When Cornell screened the film, he projected it through a piece of blue glass and slowed the speed of projection to that of a silent film. Jennifer Grey (born March 26, 1960) is an American actress. The piece consists of snippets from East of Borneo combined with shots from a documentary of an eclipse. Cornell was fascinated by the star of East of Borneo, an actress named Rose Hobart, and named his short film after her.

Rose Hobart (1936) is a short, 19 minute experimental film created by the artist Joseph Cornell, who cut and re-edited the Hollywood film East of Borneo into one of American's most famous surrealist short films. Boston: MFA Publications, 2003. Memoir of an Art Gallery. Julian Levy.
