Jennifer Grey has shared a sneak peek of her transformation into Christian cult leader Gwen Shamblin for the upcoming Lifetime series Starving for Salvation.

The Dirty Dancing actress, 62, was unrecognizable channeling the late diet guru with her signature voluminous blonde hair style.

She cast a cold and expressionless face in a photo shared to her Instagram account on Monday.

'call me gwen #starvingforsalvation #gwenshamblin @lifetime wig: @robpickens hair: @lynelapiana monitor grab: @nancydarabennett,' Jennifer captioned the photo.

Jennifer appeared to share another glimpse at her new role with a photo shared last week.

In the image, Jennifer rocked the same blonde hairstyle and heavy dose of makeup while wrapped up in leopard print.

'up to no good in montreal,' she captioned the image.

Starving For Salvation will chronicle the controversial late diet guru, who died last year when her plane crashed into a lake. 

The new Lifetime film is set to follow Shamblin's success with her diet program, her megachurch Remnant Fellowship, along with her death, according to E!

The film follows the release of the HBO Max documentary The Way Down, which spoke with survivors of the church and the horrifying details of the diets and brainwashing they faced.

Sarah Paulson will also be playing Gwen in a scripted adaptation of the HBO Max doc, according to Deadline. 

Raised in the ultra-strict Church of Christ, Shamblin was a trained dietician who started her Weigh Down Workshops in the 1980s. The Weigh Down Workshops were held in churches and as word of mouth spread, grew to more than 250,000 subscribers in over 14,000 churches in 70 countries.
