BURBANK, Calif. (AP) - The original "Grease" film is older than any of the cast members of "Grease: Live," TV's live take on the musical airing Sunday on Fox. But the stars still have memories of the 1978 film.

Here's what they had to say:

- "I always knew the movie as the musical with the guy from 'Face Off.' That's how I knew it as a kid." - David Del Rio, who plays Putzie.

- "I say it's the movie with the guy from 'Broken Arrow.'" - Andrew Call, who plays Sonny.

- "I was always Sandy until the big dance scene, and then I was Cha-Cha." - Julianne Hough, who plays Sandy.

- "'Grease' was the first musical I was the lead in and I played Danny. I was like 16. It was at the Jewish Community Center in Ft. Lauderdale." - Carlos PenaVega, who plays Kenickie.
