Rhodes Children Singers, The Marx Siblings
After witnessing their father’s performances and participating in the writing of songs for him and other performers, her sons Brandon, Jesse, and Lucas were passionate about music from an early age. The group’s oldest member, Brandon Marx, started out as a DJ and is now a producer and aspiring musician. He has a long history of music releases both under his own name and the production alias Open Water.
Lucas Marx is an autodidact pianist who started playing the guitar and bass at a very young age. When he came to Los Angeles in 2011, he started performing, appearing in small venues all around the city. Along with his singing career, he also works as a producer and has starred in episodes of “Parenthood,” “The Code of Chicago,” “The Mob Doctor,” and “Chicago P.D.”
The youngest Jesse Marx somewhat veered away from the family’s preferred musical styles and started Mark This Hour with some of his high schoolmates. Conflicting schedules, however, led to the group’s dissolution. In 2013, Jesse decided to join the Chicago-based heavy metal band For All I Am, of whom he had been a longtime admirer. To fill in for a leaving member, he sang and played the guitar for them. A nationwide tour was also proposed to determine whether the young guy would make a good permanent fit, even though the group agreed that they would have preferred to add Jesse to the set lineup.
Cynthia Rhodes Death, Dirty Dancing film
In the movie Dirty Dancing, which had tragic injuries, surgical shocks, and lonely death, Rhodes played Penny Johnson. It’s incredible to think that at one time, officials were so convinced that Dirty Dancing was a failure that they contemplated destroying the film reel and quitting. Instead, the film ended up becoming a surprise hit upon its 1987 release, turning a group of mostly unknown actors into great stars.
Actors including Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Cynthia Rhodes, and Jane Brucker spent one very cold fall in Carolina believing it was summer in the Catskills, diving into lakes and sweating on dance floors. The movie was shot in under two months on a shoestring budget. The movie provided us with some of the most well-known and frequently replicated Hollywood sequences, such as the Time of My Life ascent.
The main dancer Penny, who experienced a failed miscarriage and was thus forced to leave television, was portrayed by Cynthia, who was the first celebrity to sign on.
