Abigail Breslin wouldn’t trade anything for her time filming the Dirty Dancing remake.
That’s definitely the impression you get when the actress, who plays lead Frances “Baby” Houseman in the TV special, talks about it.
“It was the most magical work experience I’ve ever had,” Abigail shared with Out magazine. “Everybody in it is so incredible. The whole cast loved each other, and I think that really comes across onscreen.”
There was one cast member she was particularly close to: Debra Messing.
“[She] plays my mom, and I still talk to her every day and call her for advice. She’s such a gracious soul,” Abigail says.
Dirty Dancing will premiere in May on ABC.
Sarah Hyland doesn’t look anything like Haley Dunphy in these new pics from the Dirty Dancing television special.
The Modern Family actress said goodbye to Haley to become Lisa Houseman in the upcoming ABC TV event, which also stars Abigail Breslin and Cole Prattes.

In the gallery below, it looks like Lisa is definitely different from her movie persona.
In the 1987 movie, Lisa (played by Jane Brucker) was superficial and wasn’t really kind to anyone.
However, in the TV event, it looks like Lisa gains a new friend in J. Quinton Johnson‘s character Marco.
We already love their friendship!
Dirty Dancing will premiere on May 24th on ABC.
