Jenna Dewan first rose to fame as a dancer. After working as a back-up dancer for Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera, and more, Dewan broke out starring in the dance film Step Up. While she’s maintained ties to the dance world with shows like World of Dance and the upcoming Flirty Dancing, it’s been over a decade since we’ve gotten to really see her strut her stuff in a role.
Netflix’s Soundtrack is here to change all that — Dewan stars as Joanna, a social worker who once aspired to be a dancer. While we see Joanna’s struggles as a dancer and the moment that inspires her career change, we also get to see Dewan dance throughout the series in lip-synched musical numbers.
Creator Joshua Safran (Gossip Girl) wrote the role specifically for the actress and Dewan says the dancing aspect was a huge part of the appeal for her. “It was really fun to do something that was dancing within an acting medium again,” she tells EW. “And in a different way, with singing. I got to pretend I was my own pop star within my scenes.”
Dewan has several standout moments, most notably, a number in episode 2 where two versions of herself face-off — one more balletic and soft, and the other, a fiercer version, sporting a leather catsuit. Dewan says the costume felt like a nod to Jackson, who helped boost her career in its early days. “‘Human Nature’ — I watched that video over and over,” she explains. “In the tour, I was on, All For You, she did it in one of her numbers. It’s like Catwoman. It’s just empowering. It is truly woman empowerment in a catsuit. You cannot feel anything less than empowered while wearing a catsuit.”
The number required Dewan to learn two full sets of choreography and to work with a double, who she danced alongside before they digitally altered the number to look like Dewan was dancing alongside herself.
“[Josh told me] your character is having a moment of trying to fight her own self — who she is and who she wants to be and where she needs to go. So we’re going to have you play two versions of yourself and then you make out. (Laughs). That was all the information I got,” she says. “It was really cool because I had to dance two different versions of myself the character and with another dancer, we became really close. Then we switched parts, and we had to kiss each other and make it look like I was kissing myself. It was a very interesting moment for the character, trying to get her to break free and let loose and not go by the rules she’d always been told to live by.”
Dewan’s character’s life takes a very different direction from her own. While Dewan found success as a dancer, Joanna decides to set aside those dreams in pursuit of a new one. She says it was a valuable, moving perspective for her. “I looked at it in a lot of ways, like choose-your-own-adventure in my own personal life,” she muses. “I had so many struggles as a dancer and auditioning and not getting roles. I did get that ‘Yes’ finally. Joanna doesn’t get that ‘Yes.’ But what she gets is her true purpose and her true calling, which is helping others, being empathetic, wanting to be of service, and finding out that fulfills her more than what she thought her original dream was. That happens a lot in life. I was like, ‘Well what would’ve happened if I didn’t continue pursuing dance in my life?’ It probably would’ve been something very similar.”
To understand the ins and outs of Joanna’s job as a social worker, Dewan spoke to an actual one, Amy, a friend of Safran’s. “She told me everything — exactly how you feel in the role, the complex emotions you have, when you walk into a room, what you have to assess when you walk in,” she explains. “You can’t be too forward in their lives; you can’t be too passive in their lives. There’s a real dance that has to happen constantly as a social worker and also understanding that you as a social worker have very complicated feelings about a lot of the people you work with.”

Rod Stewart only joined Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament marches to hook up with girls.
Showing his support for CND throughout the 1960s, the Maggie May rocker joined the Aldermaston Marches on Easter weekends in England and was arrested at sit-ins, but in a new BBC Reel Stories interview, the 74-year-old admitted he had an ulterior motive to campaigning against nuclear missiles and war.
“We used to all go on the CND marches,” he said. “I used to do it to get shagged. I didn’t care about the war actually.”
Stewart went on to reflect on his early years, and admitted he’s shocked he was so successful with women, because his personal hygiene wasn’t great.
“It was just rebellion, that’s all it was,” he insisted. “You had to be smelly, though. You had to wear corduroy trousers for months and it really smelled. Don’t change your underpants. It was disgusting.”
However Rod, who is now married to third wife Penny Lancaster, 48, added that despite being rough around the edges, his hair was always on point.
“On the Tube (London Underground), all us were going down there holding on to our bouffant haircuts, because when you go down the escalator the train comes in and there’s an awful wind that comes up,” he laughed. “So (there would be) six or seven of us all going down holding our hair. Even then I used to have it back-combed.”

Maggie Grace is going from killing zombies on Fear the Walking Dead to navigating the world of wedding planning. The Lost alum is has joined the cast of Dennis Dugan’s Love, Weddings & Other Disasters.
Grace will star opposite Diane Keaton and Jeremy Irons in the female-driven romantic comedy about the people who work on weddings to create the perfect day for the loving couple – while their own relationships are outlandish, odd, crazy and far, far from perfect.
Grace will play Jessie, an aspiring event planner who gets an unexpected opportunity to plan the high profile wedding of an influential gubernatorial candidate and his finance. Though Jessie’s methods are slapdash and unorthodox, she puts together a very warm and eclectic wedding, befriends Liz, impresses her professional idol Lawrence (Irons), and even finds a little romance for herself. Production is currently underway in Boston.
The movie features Todd Stashwick (12 Monkeys), Caroline Portu (SMILF) and Dennis Staroselsky (The Loudest Voice). DNCE guitarist JinJoo Lee, Jesse McCartney and Veronica Ferres also co-star. Nadine de Barros of Fortitude is producing with Mike Rachmill, Dan Reardon, Adrian Politowski and Martin Metz. Executive producers are Lisa Wolofsky, Frank Buchs, Al Munteanu and Santosh Govindaraju. Gersh and Endeavor Content are handling US rights.

Gal Gadot and her husband are remaking an Israeli crime drama for showing in the United States.
Gadot and Yaron Varsano’s Pilot Wave production company has joined Endemol Shine North America and Endemol Shine Israel to remake the series “Queens,” Deadline Hollywood reported.
“Queens,” which will air its second season on the Israeli cable network HOT in 2020, is the story of the women of the Malka crime family trying to run the family business after the men are killed by a rival crime syndicate. The Hebrew word malka means queen.
“These complex characters are captivating, delightfully funny and emotional,” Gadot and Varsano said in a statement. “It is rare to find content that conveys characters in such a truthful way, while mirroring society.”
Gadot and Varsano have launched several projects since founding Pilot Wave earlier this year, including a series about the actress Hedy Lamarr and a film about Polish Underground leader Irena Sendler, with Gadot playing the title character in each. Pilot Wave is also working on “My Dearest Fidel,” an adaptation of Peter Kornbluh’s magazine article about the close friendship between ABC journalist Lisa Howard and Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
Gadot is starring in “Wonder Woman 1984,” which is scheduled to be released in June. She also will star in “Red Notice,” also starring Ryan Reynolds and Duane Johnson, the biggest feature film ever made by Netflix. The action thriller, set for release in late 2020, is centered around the pursuit of the most wanted art thief in the world.
