We woke up this morning to the news that Patrick Swayze lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. Not a shock to anyone but sad nonetheless.
His two big movie roles, Dirty Dancing and Ghost, remain two of my I-can-watch-it-over-and-over favorites. Especially Dirty Dancing. You know I love almost any form of dancing. Who would not have wanted to be Baby in that movie?
He seemed to be very humble about his weaknesses: smoking and drinking. He was passionate about his work and many causes. He seemed genuinely in love with his wife of over 30 years.
It will make me a little sad the next time I watch one of his movies.
Of all the celebrities to have passed I liked this one the most he had a great set of values.
ReplyDeleteRed Dawn never gets mentioned and I think it was a really good movie for its time.
Nobody puts baby in a corner.
I'll miss Patrick. Speaking of Dirty Dancing, I also miss Jerry Orbach.
