On August 21, 1987, the movie Dirty Dancing was released in the United States. One of the most famous lines from the picture was “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” Johnny Castle, played by Patrick Swayze, tells this line to Baby, played by Jennifer Grey. In 2024, the movie was selected to be preserved in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
The phrase from the movie has become iconic and represents a stance of empowerment or standing up to societal expectations.
