The Outsiders
Dirty Dancing
Ghost
To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar
After battling pancreatic cancer for more than a year and a half Patrick Swayze died peacefully, surrounded by family.
Swayze started his career as a Broadway dancer. His first major film role was in The Outsiders in 1983 and he appeared in almost 50 films and television series episodes in a successful career that spanned 30 years.
Some more of his many memorable films were Dirty Dancing, Ghost, and To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar. Handsome, physically graceful, able to play tough guy, sexy leading man, heartbreaking apparition, or drag queen, Swayze was a versatile and talented actor. He brought decency and dignity to everything he did.
Even after being diagnosed with cancer, Swayze continued acting. He completed an entire season of a new televisions series, The Beast, which aired on A&E in January, 2009. The series was cancelled after the first season due to Swayze’s failing health.
To quote a line that Sam said to Molly in Ghost: “It’s amazing Molly. The love inside, you take it with you. See ya”.
You made us laugh and cry, made our hearts throb and broke our hearts. You will be missed, Patrick Swayze.
