Story
TIM COONEY'S LIFE READS MORE LIKE AN ADVENTURE STORY THAN A BIOGRAPHY. HOW HE WENT FROM HOMELESS TO BEING NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR IS DEFINITELY NOT THE USUAL PATH. ALONG THE WAY THERE WERE 8 MORE NOMINATIONS FOR VARIOUS AWARDS, ELEPHANTS AND TIGERS, HOLLYWOOD, ROCK AND ROLL ROYALTY, REAL ROYALTY, AND A VERY UNUSUAL CAST OF CHARACTERS IN THIS MAN'S LIFE STORY.

Story
In The Time of My Life, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner excavates the layers of Dirty Dancing, from its anachronistic, chart-topping soundtrack, to Baby and Johnny’s chemistry, to Bergstein’s political intentions, to the abortion subplot that is more relevant today than ever. The film’s remarkable longevity would never have been possible if it was just a throwaway summer fling story. It is precisely because of its themes—deeply feminist, sensitively written—that we, over 30 years later, are still holding our breath during that last, exhilarating lift.
