Patrick Swayze - Hungry Eyes
(Dirty Dancing
Soundtrack)
A Tribute To Patrick Swayze
Hungry
Eyes
Greetings.
I have created this page in name of Patrick Swayze. Yes, I
too fell in love with his dancing and Charisma during this film
"Dirty Dancing."
I have
gathered Photos from the web and have added them here.
Below, are Links to Patrick Swayze's New Book, his
"Autobiography." To be published, hopefully,
very soon. He has, as reported by many reputable
people, etc., "Is That He Has Five Weeks To
Live." After viewing Patrick Swayze's newest
pictures via Google, this looks to be very true.
Pancreatic Cancer is the HARDEST to fight; you don't fight
it, you DIE from it as did Professor Randy Pausch - Famous
for his "Last Lecture."
With this
stated, I hope you enjoy the many pictures, and some of the
information collected.
With Hugs &
Smiles,

Dancing
with the Stars to Pay Tribute to Patrick Swayze
On
Sept. 23, the ABC show will honor the actor, who
appeared on its first season
Dancing
with the Stars will honor Patrick Swayze on its Sept.
23 live results show, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
“We
have some very fond memories of [the late actor]
coming to help us our when we were a tiny little show
way back when,” Dancing’s executive producer
Conrad Green says.
Swayze,
who died
of pancreatic cancer on Monday at the age of 57,
made a guest appearance on Dancing’s inaugural U.S.
season in 2005, teaching friend and fellow actor John
O’Hurley a few dance moves in rehearsal. He also
came to the show and supported O’Hurley by attending
the season 1 finale.
“He
was one of the few people to integrate dance with
being an A-list actor,” Green says. “He inspired
many people and many of our pros to dance. We want to
honor the great moments he’s brought to film by
getting our dancers to do their interpretation to some
music from his films.” –Monica Rizzo

Actor Patrick
Swayze dies at 57
U.S. film star
Patrick Swayze died at home Monday- Sept.14, 2009- local time at the age of
57, according to media reports Tuesday.
"Patrick
Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side
after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20
months," his rep tells PEOPLE in a statement.
Swayze
said he was diagnosed with cancer in January 2008.
Swayze's
best-remembered movies -- "Dirty Dancing" (1987)
with Jennifer Grey and "Ghost" (1990) with Demi
Moore -- were unexpected hits that relied more on terrific
soundtracks and appealing performances than dramatic
plausibility.
The
Texas native began his career as a dancer and made dozens of
stage, film and TV appearances over four decades. Pop culture
immortality came with "Dirty Dancing," which
defied Hollywood expectations to become one of the
most-watched movies of all time.
"Dirty
Dancing" featured Swayze as a dangerously hunky Catskills
dance teacher named Johnny Castle who teams with a guest's shy
daughter for a dance performance at a neighboring hotel.
Swayze's
role of an investment banker in "Ghost," killed
during a robbery, helps his lover (Moore) solve the crime with
the aid of a psychic played by Whoopi Goldberg.
While
undergoing chemotherapy for his cancer, he received good
reviews for his gritty portrayal of an undercover FBI agent in
"The Beast" (2009), a drama series for the A&E
cable network.
Swayze
missed only one day of work while filming the series.
"One thing I'm not going to do is chase staying
alive," he told interviewer Barbara Walters at the time.
"You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won't
live."
Actor Patrick
Swayze died today after a 20-month battle with pancreatic
cancer his publicist confirmed to ABC News. He was 57.
"Patrick
Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side
after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20
months," his publicist, Annett Wolf, said in a statement
released Monday evening.
Watch the
Barbara Walters Special "Patrick Swayze: Last Dance"
Tuesday at 10 pm ET.
Patrick
Swayze's wife Lisa told ABC News' Barbara Walters that she and
his brother Donny Swayze, were by his side when he died at his
ranch on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
Swayze, best
known for starring in the blockbuster films "Dirty
Dancing" and "Ghost," was diagnosed with cancer
in January 2008, but outlived the prognosis of just several
months he received.
His "Dirty
Dancing" co-star, Jennifer Gray, said Swayze "was a
rare and beautiful combination of raw masculinity and amazing
grace."
"Gorgeous
and strong, he was a real cowboy with a tender heart,"
she said after learning of his death. "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.
"When I
think of him, I think of being in his arms when we were kids,
dancing, practicing the lift in the freezing lake, having a
blast doing this tiny little movie we thought no one would
ever see," she said.
His
last
television interview was in December 2008 with ABC
News' Barbara Walters.
Swayze
spoke candidly to Walters about his prognosis and vowed to
fight his cancer and "keep my heart and my soul and my
spirit open to miracles."
"One thing
I'm not gonna do is chase staying alive,"
Swayze said. "You spend so much time chasing staying
alive, you won't live."
"He fought
the bravest battle and sadly lost," Walters said today.
"My heart goes out to his wonderful Lisa, his wife and
soulmate for 34 years."
Lisa Swayze
said that he had just recently completed the audio version of
his memoir entitled 'The Time of My Life' in homage to the
song he made famous in 'Dirty Dancing'.
(Note:
There Will Be A Page With The Song: "She's Like The
Wind" Coming Soon)
Swayze's Rise
to Stardom
From the time
he could walk, Swayze, whose mother was a dance instructor and
choreographer, took dance lessons in his hometown of Houston.
Swayze's
father, on the other hand, was a great outdoorsman, which is
where Swayze got his love for horses.
His primary
passion growing up was dancing, but eventually Swayze was
forced to stop because of injuries and began investing his
energy into acting.
He moved to New
York and had his first big break in the Broadway musical
"Grease" in 1978. His popularity on the Great White
Way soon led him to Hollywood, where he appeared in a teenage
movie called "Skatetown USA."
Although he was
compared to Rudolph Valentino and John Travolta, Swayze
decided not to go the route of being a teenage idol. Instead,
he chose to pursue films such as "The Outsiders" and
the television miniseries "North and South."
Swayze achieved
true stardom with the biggest break of his life, starring as
the gyrating dance instructor Johnny Castle in 1987's
"Dirty Dancing" opposite
co-star Jennifer
Gray. He
earned a Golden Globe nomination for his role, along with a
cult-like following of fans.
He received
another nomination for his 1990 blockbuster "Ghost,"
in which he starred alongside Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg.
He was named by People magazine as the "Sexiest Man
Alive" in 1991.
Moore released
this statement upon hearing of Swayze's death, "Patrick
you are loved by so many and your light will forever shine in
all of our lives. In the words of Sam to Molly. 'It's amazing
Molly. The love inside, you take it with you.' I will miss
you. Demi."
Swayze
continued acting in films, including "Point Break,"
"To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar"
and "Donnie Darko."

I leave you with pearls of wisdom from Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing:
“Look, spaghetti arms. This is my dance space.
This is your dance space. I don’t go into yours, you don’t go into mine.
You gotta hold the frame.”
“No, I mean the way he saved her. I mean, I… I could never do anything like that. That was
somethin’. The reason people treat me like I’m
nothin’ is ’cause I’m nothin’.”
“Nobody puts Baby in the corner.”
“Now, you’ll hurt me if you don’t trust me, all right?”
“Just put your pickle on everybody’s plate college boy and leave the hard stuff to me.”
“I’m gonna do my kind of dancin’ with a great partner, who’s not only a terrific dancer; somebody who’s taught me that there are people willing to stand up for other people no matter what it costs them; somebody who’s taught me about the kind of person I wanna be.”
“Yeah, it takes a real saint to ask Daddy.”
“Don’t put your heel down, don’t put your heel down!”
“It’s not on the one, it’s not the mambo, it’s a feeling a heartbeat.”
“You don’t understand the way it is, I mean for somebody like me. Last month I’m eating Jujubes to keep alive, and this month women are stuffing diamonds in my pocket, I’m balancing on shit and quick as that [clicks his fingers] I could be down there again.

Baby
& Johnny:
The film features some energetic dance sequences & has a spectacular soundtrack as a backdrop. Swayze is a dancer in real life & this film gave him the opportunity to put those hot dance moves to good use. This was his star-making performance & for many years after he was a household name. Dancer turned actress Cynthia Rhodes is also very good in her small role, especially in the opening mambo dance sequence with heart-throb Swayze. They are electrifying together.
The film's climactic dance sequence featuring Swayze & Grey is anything short of spectacular & makes you want to jump out of your seat & start dancing yourself or simply sit there with a big goofy smile on your face wishing that you could dance like that. It has that feel-good quality that makes you want to watch it again & again.
"Dirty Dancing" was the surprise box office smash of 1987 & deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Song In A Motion Picture, "I've had the time of my life" perfomed by Warnes & Medly. The film was so popular around the world that it resulted in the production of a TV series starring a different cast.
"Dirty Dancing" remains a favorite film for many people & is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. It is the perfect example of what a dance musical should be.

"Patrick
To Write His Autobiography Book"
Patrick
Swayze to Pen Book about Cancer Battle
Patrick Swayze
plans to share intimate details of his fight
against Pancreatic
Cancer in a new
book, his rep confirms.
The
Beast star is planning to write a memoir
with this wife, Lisa, whom he married in
1975. The tome will focus on his life and
his battle with cancer, which he was
diagnosed with over a year ago.
While
his rep says there's no publisher attached
to the book at this time and no release
date, reports indicate that it will be
shopped around to potential buyers next
week.

So
why not Patrick Swayze himself? It’s
been reported that Patrick Swayze will pen
a memoir with the help of his wife Lisa.
The book will span Swayze’s entire life
- which means, unless things take a turn
for the better soon, it’s going to have
an incredibly depressing ending.
Because,
Jesus, The Beast? Have you actually seen
that thing? Talk about a terrible way to
end an autobiography. Way to bum us all
out, Patrick.
Think
Patrick Swayze at the moment and, sadly,
you tend to think of the stage 4
pancreatic cancer that he’s been
blighted with for the last year. That’s
not without good reason - for all the
upsetting talk of a two-year
survival prognosis, the fact is that
by doubling the life expectancy of a
patient in a similar position, and by seeing
off pneumonia in the process, Patrick
Swayze has become something of an
inspirational figure.
But,
despite all this, there’s much more to
Patrick Swayze than just cancer. He was
named the sexiest man alive in 1991, for
example. Plus he wrote She’s Like The
Wind, [From
The Movie Dirty Dancing] guest-starred in an episode of
MacGyver and was the single weirdest thing
about Donnie Darko. And those are all
things worth preserving.
And
that’s why his continuing battle with
cancer has spurred Patrick Swayze on to
write his autobiography. Along with his
wife Lisa, Patrick Swayze has announced
that he’s planning to write what is
bound to be an incredibly inspirational
memoir. People reports:
Despite
reports, the source says that Swayze,
who is battling pancreatic cancer, will
not write an inspirational book.
Instead, The Beast star will focus on
his life’s journey, including his
current fight against cancer
. No word yet on when the book will be
published.
Oh,
alright then. Patrick Swayze’s book
won’t be inspirational after all. We’d
quite like to think that Patrick Swayze is
going to go out of his way to make his
autobiography as deliberately curmudgeonly
and demotivating as possible. Not just
about his fight with cancer, but about
everything that’s ever happened to him -
we’d especially love to see chapter
headings entitled Letters From A Killer:
What In Shitting Christ Was I Thinking?
and My Parents? Ugh, Don’t Talk To Me
About My Parents - but that’s unlikely
to happen, realistically.
Nevertheless,
we’re sure that Patrick Swayze’s book
will turn out great. Just so long as he
remembers not to go into too much detail
about anything that happened to him
between 1992 and, say, 2007. Our lives are
busy enough as it is without having to
read page after page on the voice work
that Patrick Swayze did for The Fox And
The Hound 2.
