Patrick Swayze

Filed Under Celebrities, Movies, My Childhood, Thoughts | 3 Comments

I can’t believe that he just died… I mean, I believe it. He had cancer. But he just seemed too strong and handsome to die. Does that make sense? Many other stars have died and it hasn’t really hit me. But Patrick was my first movie star crush. I can recite probably every line to Dirty Dancing; it’s one of my favorites. I always have admired his talent and I love to watch him dance. When I was in about third grade my friend and I used to talk about how we wanted to be “Baby” (Jennifer Gray) so that we could dance with him. I remember buying Ghost when it came out on VHS too. I also admire him because he didn’t seem to fall into the Hollywood lifestyle of adultery, drugs, etc. He was with his wife for 37 years, and he stayed true to her and fought against his cancer until the very end. I just didn’t want the end to be already. It won’t be the same watching those movies now and knowing that he isn’t alive.

So many of us will miss you, Johnny Castle.

Patrick

    I know, it really takes me back to Junior High. We all fantasized about being Baby. It is really sad. :(

    Yeah – pancreatic cancer sucks. All cancer sucks, but that one really sucks.
