Patrick Wayne Swayze, August 18, 1952 to September 14, 2009

I would like to take the time to honor one of our greatest movie icons, Pat Swayze, who passed away yesterday.

Whether it was his debut role as Ace Johnson in "Skatetown, USA" or his award winning role as Johnny Castle in "Dirty Dancing".... Pat Swayze could bring it to the big screen.

Who could forget (I tried) his inspiring role as Sam Wheat in "Ghost." What determination he showed by not wanting to cross over to the other side and save his woman (Demi Moore) from his killer. But I don't think I would want to cross over either if I had Demi Moore back in the mortal world, molding a clay pot between her bare thighs. Thank God Whoopi set him straight just as she does to so many guests on The View!

Or what about his ass kickin role as Dalton in "Roadhouse." A rouge bouncer who settles in a small country town only to discover he has bounced the wrong person. You know your a bad ass when you don't have a last name.

Speaking of bad ass. I was glued to the screen while watching him star as Bodhi in "Point Break" which is probably one of his greatest all time roles. Imagine being able to elude the clutches of Keano Reeves only to be crushed to death by a giant 50 ft wave. What a way to go when your are a bad ass (again, no last name).

Any way you slice it Pat Swayze had a hell of a career and we will certainly miss him and his contribution to the big screen. Thanks to you Patrick Swayze.... I truely have had, The Time of my Life!!

Til next time,

Too Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
