    RIP - Patrick Swayze

    "LOS ANGELES — Patrick Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into moviegoers' hearts with "Dirty Dancing" and then broke them with "Ghost," died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57."

    Yes, terrible news always struck me as someone who didn't get a "big head" with the fame. It really is too bad :cry:

    I've got to say reading of his death troubled me - not something I would normally ever say about a celebrity.

    Perhaps it's a bit like hearing of a contemporary who has succumbed to cancer, quite shocking when it happens because they were there on the TV and silver screen and you didn't think of them as being "old" at all.

    It sounds like he was genuinely well thought of and will be deeply missed.

    Yes very sad, he seemed like a bloke you would enjoy having a pint with.

    Very sad. In addition to the qualities people have already mentioned he also had a long and successful marriage by Hollywood standards, which says something about the man.

    Very sad news. Actually I didn't like his movies or music, but he seemed to be a very down-to-earch kind of man.

    Re: RIP - Patrick Swayze

    Can't say i have ever enjoyed a film he was in....However his latest work, the Beast was a great show, he played a great part and carried on doing it despite being so ill, for me his finest hour! Just such as shame it was in his last hour :(

    I saw an interview with him last year on The Tonight Show and he came across as a sincere humble man who loved his family, one of the nice guys of hollywood.

    RIP fella

    Sad news and admired his forthrightness in the face of adversity. Thought he was a good actor, and liked some of his work.
    Also interesting and though one does not always have control over it, remained married to the same lady, which in Hollywood, seems a notable fact.

    Br and RIP,

    Very sad news indeed. Equally as sad, the Misses will be watching 'Dirty Dancing' for the 1000th time :?

    Was sad to hear that patick had lost his brave battle against his cancer.

    I liked the man, great actor, top man.

    My wife was telling about the interview he made about his illness last year, she said he was a fantastic chap, I feel for his wife and family.

    RIP, feel like watching him in roadhouse now,

    sad day, him and keith floyd passing.
