PATRICK SWAYZE: 80’s romantic stars dies at 57 from cancer

ROMANCE LIVES ON
Film actors have remembered Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze following his death at 57 from pancreatic cancer. Whoopi Goldberg, who starred with Swayze in Ghost, said in tearful tribute on US TV: “Because of Patrick Swayze, I have an Oscar”. The actress also hailed his bravery and touched upon the star’s fun side.
Keanu Reeves, Swayze’s co-star in Point Break, said he was “a beautiful person” and hailed his “passion and lust for life and his craft”. Speaking at the Toronto Film Festival, Reeves added: “He had a really good sense of humour and he lived life to the full.” He recalled how Swayze became a fan of sky diving during filming, and was eventually asked by producers to stop.
Jennifer Grey, who co-starred with Swayze in Dirty Dancing, said in a statement: “Patrick was a rare and beautiful combination of raw masculinity and amazing grace. Gorgeous and strong, he was a real cowboy with a tender heart. “He was fearless and insisted on always doing his own stunts, so it was not surprising to me that the war he waged on his cancer was so courageous and dignified.”
Demi Moore has also paid tribute to her co-star in the hit film Ghost, saying: “Patrick you are loved by so many and your light will forever shine in all of our lives.” She added: “I love and will miss you Patrick.”
California governor and former Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger called Swayze a “talented and passionate artist who struck a memorable chord with audiences throughout the world.”
In January, Swayze admitted he might only have two years to live, but denied he was near death.

Hey, Great blog you have here. I wanted to let you all know that I think Twitter is going to be one of the stronger networks because of the fact that it is supported by so many industries. I also think when Twitter introduces some of it’s new functions, returning traffic will increase to show the real growth of the network.
Anyway, I build a site that gives away great resources for Twitter that are 100% free, so come and visit and don’t be a stranger.
Keep up the great work!
I found out your webpage through google, i was browsing and ended up here, i love what i read, you got talent. For that I can treasure you a lot more then you may think.
I’m not a specialist at many things.I don’t know about politics,I’m no medic, I have no clue about animals, the truth is there are plenty of stuff that i have no clue about…BUT..I’m an expert at cooking, I’m a chef and my business is to make families feel like in heaven every time they eat what i cook. Maybe a wedding or a house party or whatever and whenever the reason might be. So I know how hard can be at times to make people feel better at times. That’s why i like you!
There is also something that i enjoy, people blogs that educate other people on diffrent topics.
Stay the best! Thank You!

Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.

Hi. this is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time.
Hey – nice blog, just looking around some websites, seems a really nice platform you are using. I’m currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run.
Hasn’t everyone gotten tired of this junk by now?
