PATRICK SWAYZE: THE TIME OF HIS LIFE

This is how we want to remember Patrick Swayze, who died today at 57 from pancreatic cancer. In 1987 he starred in the ultimate summer romance movie “Dirty Dancing” and millions of females fell madly in love with him. Good girls are always attracted to bad boys, especially if they can dance. Masculine Patrick also inspired guys – he made it OK for macho men to dance. (Without Patrick there would be no Channing Tatum.) Patrick was a gentleman and well liked in Hollywood. His wife of 34 years, Lisa Niemi, was with him to the end.
