Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you
-- Time of my Life (Dirty Dancing), 1987
As a child, I first saw him in the movie Dirty Dancing, which took the world by a storm! Years later, his equally magnificient performance in the movie Ghost, with co-starrer Demi Moore, was among the finest I'd come to see!
The iconic Swayze attained his heavenly abode yesterday, after a long drawn, painful battle with pancreatic cancer! This post pays tribute to a wonderful soul, who immortalized himself in the minds of millions by his performances and charm!
Rest in peace sailor!

ReplyDeleteRIP PS. Sometime it is ppl like you who gives us the courage to carry on and fight the acrimonies of life.
ReplyDeleteNever heard or seen him before ! May his soul rest in peace !!!
ReplyDeletewho can ever forget his sexy moves in Dirty Dancing. An all time classic so he'll live in our memories.. I never knew he was suffering till I read yesterday on news-sites that he is no more..
ReplyDeleteWhat do I say except condolences to people who knew him.... I was follower of his work and saw him last in 'The Beast'. Yet, 'Ghost' stands out taller and more euphoric than 'Dirty Dancing' as per me. He was cool.
ReplyDeletehe was a genuine actor. heartthrob for millions of girls. But, we Indians will remember him forever for "City Of Joy"
ReplyDeleteI too,enjoyed those 2 movies where he was at his best.

I miss him, he was one of those heroes I admired when I was a kid. My folks and I watched the movie Ghost, though they moved me when the adult content was on, but the movie was a hit among us.
ReplyDeleteI guess he was the best actor then for me.
RIP Mr. Swayze.
