Dirty Dancing In Heaven (R.I.P. Patrick Swayze)

'Dirty Dancing' star Patrick Swayze at 57

Poor guy. I know he had been sick for quite a while, but it's still sad to see it finally take him. Maybe Whoopie can help us talk to him again!

Edit: Thanks Zen, didn't see yours first, was about to report mine!

I really enjoyed his movies and the media reports on how nice of a guy he was. I also respected a man who was voted sexiest man in America and could of had a revolving door of women but stayed faithful to his true love. Sad news indeed.

Suuuure. I bet you created this after seeing hers just so she could have the little pickmeup of merging threads to help distract her from the mourning.

A moment of silence for the greatest mullet of Hollywood.

I will take a moment from being a smart ass to say that as a youth, I admired this man's ability to play an action movie as well as a dancing movie. Haven't seen him in much since, but still, it's a shame.

Edit: this moment of honesty brought to you by whisky. Don't judge me.

I just read the L.A. Times obituary and yeah, there was a guy who had plenty of problems in his life, and worked hard to overcome them and keep his marriage together.

Also, he was in the Joffrey's second company? That's damn impressive.

I don't really recall watching many movies with him in them (but than gain I usually don't pay attention to what actor is playing what role) but the news still saddens me a bit. 2009 has been a hard year for celebrities

damn. well, maybe the upside from his death is more attention on pancreatic cancer research.

but yeah, damn.

I liked the movies of his I saw, he seemed to put real work into his roles, and the others around him responded as well.

I second the BRAZELTONNNN!!!

Just saw this on BBC. Last time I saw a picture of him, he looked like he was in bad shape. Sorry to see he didn't recover. Cancer is pretty damn awful.

(as it is once again relevant) Damn You Tom Brazelton!

So sad - he put up a hell of a fight against his cancer.

I was actually rather surprised they gave him a new show considering his health issues. Oh well. Poor a little out for my dead homey.

First time I saw him was in The Outsiders as PonyBoy's oldest brother, Darrel. I was only 12, but I knew it wouldn't be the last time I saw him in films.

RIP

Sad to see him struggle with cancer.

I never realized how many Swayze movies are on my shelf until today. It's a shame

I wasn't what you would call a fan, but I certainly didn't wish him harm. Bummer he's gone.

Same here.

For someone who had pancreatic cancer, he was blessed with more time than most. I have a feeling he made the best of it.

Any lymphatic based cancer eats you alive. They are the absolute worst.

Exactly. I was shocked he made it so long!

Yeah, this is sad news :-(
I'm watching North and South again in his honour.

This.
But as it takes a long while to get throught I will start my own memorial service with Ghost.

I always liked the story how, before shooting of North and South started, he invited James Read on his ranch and taught him how to ride. This is a really nice gesture and just shows, along with loving his wife for his whole life, what great kind of person Patrick Swayzee was.

Damn. He seemed like a nice, down to earth, guy.

+1

I wasn't a huge fan or anything (quickly covers up posters) but in every interview he always seemed like a real person.

I'm going to watch To Wong Foo this weekend.

Also, I wonder how Gabe is feeling....
