Well, his long, brave battle is over. That horrible disease, which those of us who have lost someone from it have dubbed "The Beast," pancreatic cancer has claimed another. How ironic it was that Patrick's last professional work, a short TV series filmed while he was ill, was called.... "The Beast."

Thank you for the beauty of your soul, your dance, your acting, and your life, Patrick. I think you truly did have "the time of your life."

You will be missed.

My all time favorite is his character from "North and South" Ory Main. I loved that series so much but after that I would have to go with "Dirty Dancing" and I just loved "Ghost". His portrayal of Sam Wheat was excellent and very sad movie. I remember going to see it several times when it came out in Germany.

Point Break is pretty good, if you can tolerate Keanu Reeves.

Thanks for posting that link, BW. Very nice, and informative, article.

I never knew a lot about Patrick on a personal level, until I watched the Barbara Walters interview several months back. He always seemed to be so careful to guard his private life. At one point, I wasn't sure if he was married or had a family. I even wondered if he was gay, not that it would have mattered to me.

In that interview, I learned a lot about what an amazingly strong man he was. And I was so pleased to see that he had been married to the same woman for many years, and was still very much in love with her. That is so refreshing in Hollywood these days.

I have been thinking about his movies that I have seen, and trying to figure out my favorite one. The result is... I can't. I have seen:

North and South (the TV series)
Dirty Dancing (many times!)
Ghost (he made me cry)
Road House (loved his macho character)
To Wong Foo...(couldn't believe what a gorgeous dame he made!)
King Solomon's Mines (not the best, but watchable)
Icon (an OK action TV movie)

I would have to say that the first 5 on my list are pretty much equal, with Dirty Dancing perhaps taking a slight lead.

Nice article, BW. Yes, he will be missed. I was chatting with a woman yesterday while waiting in line. She said that he was one of the rare breeds of Hollywood that still had a level head about himself. A very down to earth guy. And I totally agreed with her.

Here's a very nice article about him:

Judging by the photo, he was a dog lover, too. The comments are amazing. Usually most of the commenters to any news story, anywhere, have something negative to say, but not here.

I was so sad yesterday when I heard this, even though it has been expected for some time now. His poor wife, I feel for her. He was a beautiful man inside and out and brought such joy to us ladies and maybe some men too with his portrayal of Johnny Castle in "Dirty Dancing" his most famous role. RIP Patrick.

Very sad indeed. He did such an excellent job getting past his big role and beating the stereotype. A truly talented man.
