I enjoyed his The Beast on A&E.
I think he was more than “just a headline”.
I’m with you.
A good man, that Patrick Swayze.
DOn’t think I ever saw him in anything other than one of the funniest SNL sketches ever with Chris Farley.
Very sad to hear this. One of the good guys in Hollywood. Two of my favorite films are Red Dawn and To Wong Foo.
I always remember him for North and South.
Amen Bahbah, I don’t want to tell Mrs. Springman, guess I’ll have to.
Prayers for him and his family.
RIP

How sad, Red Dawn is one of my favorites.
And of course as a female I loved Dirty Dancing.
Very sad. The last I read about him he was improving. Sounded like he had a fighting chance. I was so hoping for it.
He put up a good fight. Prayers for his family.
He was a horse lover. Arabs (the horse kind, people).
He was actually teaching the actress to dance in those scenes. They were so tired that his frustration with her (Jennifer something or other I think) was quite real.
He always struck me as an actor who had fun with his trade and didn’t get all wrapped up in his own press. It is so sad that he lost this fight. May God be with his family and friends in their time of grief.
Seconded.
“Three Wishes” was a favorite movie.
Are you talking about the Chippendales skit?! That makes me LOL to this day.
A very talented and nice guy from a talented family. I was in childrens theatre back in the sixties and met Patrick and his sister Vicky who died at Theatre Inc. which is now Theatre Under the Stars in Houston TX. Patsy his mom was choreographer there and had her own dance studio in Houston. Again my condolences to his wife and family.
