- Maxwell Caulfield, Grease 2, 1982. Film was in trouble even before producer Allan Carr thought of springing the star of TV’s BJ and the Bear. Well, a tele-boy worked the first time… Shaun Cassidy, Bee Gee Andy Gibb, Timothy Hutton, Rick Springfield were next in the loop for Cool Rider, the Aussie student at Rydell High for the totally unnecessary (and awful) sequel. Before the premiere, Caulfield was hailed as a new John Travolta. When it flopped, “nobody would touch me. It felt like a bucket of cold water had been thrown in my face. It took me 10 years to get over Grease.” Londoner Caulfield – in high school at 22! – has been wed to Hayley Mills’ sister, Juliet, since 1980.
