Remembering Patrick Swayze: The Good, The Bad, and his friends at Ugly.
92Y Tribeca in New York recently presented a Swayze Days of Summer film series, with some of his more popular/acclaimed films (Dirty Dancing, The Outsiders) and the pulpy parts (Road House, Steel Dawn). It was a great celebration of his work and his love of acting, no matter the project. As we’ve seen from Donnie Darko, he was always able to laugh at himself a little bit.
He seemed incredibly classy (stayed committed to his wife through all his decades of heartthrobdom!), and if you’ve seen the instructional video Swayze Dancing, you know he loved his mom more than anything. Sweet guy.
Artist SD Elliott showed these fantasy portraits of Patrick Swayze at a group show in Portland earlier in the year. The above image, Mount Swayze, is available on eBay.
