Patrick Swayze

BORN ON THIS DAY in 1952: Patrick Swayze. Pat Devlin poses with him here, probably in 1986 when the actor was in the area (Lake Lure, NC) for his role as Johnny Castle in "Dirty Dancing."  Photo credit: Lisa Devlin Patten

I remember my cousin and my high school girlfriend going crazy over this movie.  I listened to the some of those songs off that soundtrack for years.  Hungry Eyes by Eric Carmen and She's Like The Wind by Patrick Swayze are two of my favorities.

The first movie I ever saw Swayze in was The Outsiders, and I didn't know of him then.  I had to go back and watch it.
