Good acting in some good movies. Had no clue as to his politics, which is another good thing. RIP

He was actually teaching the actress to dance in those scenes.

For North & South, Swayze took actors to his ranch and taught them how to ride horses.

RIP Patrick.

That’s too bad. Sad to see him lose the battle.

Got to tip you cap to Patrick though. He put up a hell of fight and survived for quite a while in the face of overwhelming odds.

RIP Patrick Swayze

I read the John Jakes novels on North and South. Now you have me very curious about watching the screen version.

Yes, she does...she plays a lot of characters like that. There was a movie she was in called THE ASSOCIATE. Little known movie but it is one of my favorite cable movies!

That was a bit strange for me, but it was funny! Really, Patrick was good in any movie, in my opinion. Roadhouse and Point Break were my favorites too. Also enjoyed him in “The Beast”. He was a tough one until the very end but had a heart of gold.

I loved the interviews on the North & South DVD...when Patrick tells of how he could barely speak doing his scene with Jimmy Stewart.
