The actress, 72, brushed off claims the 1977 film is sexist in the wake of the #MeToo movement in an interview with The Guardian
In recent years it's been claimed that Grease offers a sexist portrayal of women, as Sandy felt the need to change her appearance to be with Danny
Meanwhile the male characters - the T-Birds in particular - are solely focused on the sexual aspects of their relationships
Sandy undergoes a raunchy makeover at the end of the film, while Danny's look and ideals remain the same
The film has also faced controversy for its songs' underlying sexual nature, including Summer Nights, which some claim has connotations of rape
Others have defended the film
