DIRTY DANCING TOWN TO HONOUR SWAYZE
Late actor PATRICK SWAYZE is to be remembered by residents of the North Carolina community where he filmed DIRTY DANCING.
Swayze lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on Monday (14Sep09), aged 57, after a life spent wowing movie audiences with great roles, but his best remembered will always be 1987 love story Dirty Dancing, in which he played summer camp dance teacher Johnny Castle.
Much of the low-budget movie was filmed in the town of Lake Lure and community members have organised a tribute to the star with a memorial service on Saturday (19Sep09), which will take place at Firefly Cove - a housing development which featured in the movie as his character's summer cabin.
Visitors who attend the public service will be asked to donate to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

This is a sad moment in history that some one like patrick died to cancer with
all the modern medicines out today youd at least think theyd find a cure i
personally dont belive in chemotherapy,an im sure in his situation i would of
opt for something more holistic , but to each his own an this is a very sad
moment that someone like him who was so talented loss his battle to cancer, he
was a fighter but this is one fight we all wished he would of one , i think of
him in the movie ghost too bad it was not real an he could do like he did in
that movie, but thats wishfull think i feel his wife has lost her best friend
an her husband, patrick where ever you are may you walk with god for all
eternity,an im not religious at all ,
