Patrick Swayze, born
August 18, 1952 in Texas, is one of those actors who
really represented the 80's with class. As far as
80's TV is concerned, you could see Swayze on SNL, a few
TV shows, several made for TV movies, and of course the
mini-series' The North and the South (1985) and The
North and the South II (1986). His 80's movie
resume includes The Outsiders (1983), Uncommon Valor
(1983), Grandview, USA (1984), Red Dawn (1984),
Youngblood (1986), Dirty Dancing (1987), Steel Dawn
(1987), Tiger Warsaw (1988), Road House (1989), and Next
of Kin (1989). Ghost was not released until 1990.
Although Swayze continues working, he is not as popular
as he once was. Remember, in the 80's, he was also
a singer! Quick Fact: Swayze was offered six
million dollars to do a Dirty Dancing sequel. He
said no. |
