Rest in peace, Patrick

Patrick Swayze was one of my first major actor crushes, long before I ever saw Dirty Dancing or Ghost. I cried for his character Gary Sturgis in a 1981 episode of M*A*S*H and religiously watched the short-lived The Renegades because of his "Bandit" - the character he'd played in the 1982 TV movie of the same name. 1983 gave him to me in Uncommon ( Read more... )

ramblings, real life

I think I need to put in my dvd of The Outsiders. I fell hard for him in that.
*Clings*

You'll never believe me when I tell you this but I cast Patrick as Daryl long before Coppola did. When I first found out who was cast, I thought I'd dreamt it and then once I saw the posters and first ads, I realized it was real. Man did I squee (before I even knew the word existed) when I found out Coppola agreed with me! LOL

That's awesome! I was thrilled to see him in that movie-I adored the book. I read it so many times and now it's in tatters-lol. But he made that character for me. :)

That book and the movie meant a whole lot to me. I think its the same for many of us though ::sigh::

It did to me as well. I was about 16 when it came out-so yeah. Such a shame..

OMG... ROTFLMAO.

I'm sorry, since this is such a terribly sad subject but, re-read what you wrote me here but put that in the context of me having just sent you my comments about hubby taking care of our dogs' glands and me assuming when I opened your message in email that you were replying to that conversation and not this Patrick one.

Good thing I didn't have a drink in my hand ;).

With apologies to Patrick... who, I honestly think would have gotten a real chuckle out of my misunderstanding and not be upset by it

LOLOLOLOL!!!!! I can just imagine! And yes-I think he would have been highly amused by that! :D

TMI! TMI! Man, did I sportle when I realized just how badly I was misinterpeting that *VBG*

Glad you got a laugh out of it too :D
