Patrick Swayze, One of the Good Guys

Rate: 17 Flag

  swayze

Below is a link to my post containing the final scene from Dirty Dancing. By all accounts, Patrick Swayze was the same kind of guy he played in that movie. Decent, hard working, kind, loving, unpretentious. Seriously. Sexy. 

Gone too soon. I hope he meets up with Jerry Orbach and they can reminesce about the movie.

 Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner

Rest in Peace, Patrick Swayze. Not in a corner.

Just heard about this and couldn't believe it, so I went to CNN to see if they had it.

They did. All the entertainment newsies have it.

And another light winks out in the night sky.........

Sally - I've been meaning to get by here and read some of your stuff. This was the perfect excuse!

He was one of my first crushes - and such a great dancer (I danced for years). So, sad. He was truly a man among men.

Thanks for posting (rated).

Karin: I'm so glad to know that someone else appreciated that show! all of the performances were so awesome.

they cancelled the show, but they need to bring it back. PS worked too hard for them to just drop one of his finest works.

This is a true bumer. Swazye was definitely one of the good guys. Very sad.

My sympathies to his wife. He fought this as valiantly as he could. Too soon to be gone.

He was a rarity in Hollywood, an unassuming decent guy.
