Patrick Swayze dies at 57

Such sad news. At least he's no longer in pain. He fought long and hard and I hope he's at peace now.
 
I guess I knew this was coming, but I'm still saddened. I think it was only a matter of time, really. "Roadhouse" was on TV weekend before last and I recorded it just out of nostalgia, I hadn't seen it in SO long. While I was watching it, tho, I kind of thought, "wonder how he's doing with the cancer...." Kind of weird that it happened the next week. I'm glad that he's finally free of what must have been a very painful ordeal.

RIP, Patrick, you'll be missed!
 
I'll always remember him as Orry Main in North and South. (Is that a Swedish thing?)
Don't recall much of the other movies I've seen with him like Dirty Dancing, Ghost and Roadhouse.
Point Break was okay. Remember that one since it's a Kathryn Bigelow movie.

RIP

How very sad. He was a fantastic actor. He will certainly be missed. 'Dirty Dancing' has, is, and will always be one of my all-time favorite films. His death came as a real shock to me. I had thought he was getting better - not worse! I guess that's how it is with cancer, though. It can get worse so quickly.

Tonight, my friend Johnny and I are having a Patrick Swayze movie marathon. We're watching Dirty Dancing, Point Break, Ghost and possibly Donnie Darko. (He has a small role he had in that later film, but a great one!)

R.I.P. Patrick! You will be remembered for the great films you made.
 
Correction on my post above. Swayze's book is called "The Time Of My Life," and is available for pre-order at Amazon.com in hardback and cd for those who prefer audio. Delivery is listed as 9/29, which seems awful soon, but, given the inevitability of pancreatic cancer, Swayze probably planned it this way. That would be his style.
