Patrick Swayze RIP

Was jsut getting ready to post thhis myself.

Sad news indeed, he was much too young.

My heart goes out to his family and friends.
 
sigh.:(:(:(:( More and more of my favorite actors are dying off. Patrick of course way to early. I first saw him in North and South. He had a few good movies but as mentioned already he made a decision not to appear in big films anymore. Which you have to respect, family meant more to him than chasing constant fame.
 
R.I.P. Patrick Swayze.

He was one of my mom's favorite actors (she loves Dirty Dancing and Ghost).

I love Ghost. Oh, boy, is that movie going to get really bittersweet now. I already sob at the end. That last scene is one of my absolute favorite film scenes of all time.

Many years ago his brother Don appeared on a talk show featuring brothers of famous celebrities. Don said that Patrick was actually a much better dancer than we saw in Dirty Dancing. The character of Johnny Castle was very talented, but he wasn't a professional.

I remember the scene in which Johnny tells Baby that no one had ever gone out on a limb for him like that before. :(
 
Damn. Not totally unexpected, unfortunately, but still very sad.

R.I.P. Mr. Swayze.
 
DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

-John Donne

And that's all I have to say, folks, along with these: :wtf::( :wah:
 
It's a sad story, but I just know he's in Heaven, dancing with Jennifer Grey's old nose.

Joe, repeater
 
This sucks, 2009 has taken entertainers that were important to me growing up left and right.

Yeah, it's gotten so that every time I switch on the MSN homepage I expect to see nothing but a death notice in the big box anymore.

Damn. Sorry to hear this.

Yet again.
 
I was born a bit too late to have seen the movies from Swayze's prime when they came out, but I've since seen several, and you can see why he was famous. RIP.
