Why oh Why must I have to write yet another R.I.P post. 2009 has been such a debbie downer of a time for Hollywood.

Patrick Swayze's passing is particularly sad because he will be forever associated with the mystique of the 1980's. The 80's was my childhood so Dirty Dancing was the ULTIMATE.

He acheived with that movie what actors try their whole entire lives to acheive. Not only was the acting on point that dude could really shake a tail feather! He really had some soul and skills to pull off some of those moves.

What really breaks my heart is the fact his wife of 33 years Lisa Nieme is now without her partner. I would't wish that type of heartache on anyone. I recently saw this clip of the two of them dancing together at the 1994 World Music Awards. Talk about elegance. If you somehow were holding unto the lie that Dancing with the Stars was a good show after you see this clip there is NO WAY that you can still hold such sentiments true. This was the prime example of when "stars" committ to the craft of dance and really shine

Although most think of "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" when they think of Patrick Swayze I have to think of one of my favorite films of all time "Too Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar".

Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizomo were the most believable drag queens I've seen on screen.

In addition to his acting chops Swayze had a great sense of humor. According to Whoopi Goldberg last year on "The View" she talked about Patrick being a clown on the set of "Ghost". She said he was constantly ad libbing, and trying to make her laugh during her psychic scenes by mooning her and saying outrageous things. I think the test of a true talent in acting is when your skills can take you across the board from drama to comedy. Swayze cracked me up in this sketch from SNL with Chris Farely.

Well, Swayze is ghost for real now.

Thank you for Dirty Dancing, The Outsiders Point Break, and Roadhouse among other brilliant tings.

Pour some out for another fallen soldier.

One of the best SNL skits of all time thanks to Chris Farley. Epic. Swayze also played a great motivational speaker/paedophile in Donnie Darko. Patrick Swayze - Chippendale Uploaded by tressage. -
