Patrick Swayze
It's a silver screen favorite, and now, nearly 24 years after "Dirty Dancing" made its debut, Lionsgate has announced plans to remake the 1980s classic.
The 1960s-based film, which previously starred Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze, will sit under the direction of the movie's original choreographer Kenny Ortega for the reboot.
It has been almost two months since Patrick Swayze has passed away, and wife Lisa Niemi is going to be opening up about it on the Oprah Winfrey show.
She’ll speak about what life was like for them, as well as what it was like losing him, in her first interview since his passing.
Ready to pay their respects, family and friends will be holding a private memorial service for Patrick Swayze over the weekend.
Taking place on Sunday (October 4) at Sony Studios in Los Angeles, those close to the actor will say their farewells after he passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 57.
Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey danced before us on screen, but the actor didn’t love filming “Dirty Dancing.”
In his autobiography, “The Time of My Life,” which will be out Tuesday, Swayze tells that his costar was a huge pain onset. So why was she such a pain? He thought that Grey acted too girly.
The entertainment industry is still reeling from the tragic death of Patrick Swayze earlier this week. And now it has been announced that “Dancing with the Stars” is planning a tribute to the late actor.
According to a report, the “Dirty Dancing” star will be honored on the September 23rd live results show.
Having worked together back in the early 90’s, Keanu Reeves has opened up about his thoughts on the passing of Patrick Swayze.
Talking about the filming of “Point Break,” Keanu tells, "There was some sky diving sequences in this film we did together and as filming was going on it came to be that Patrick was jumping out of airplanes all the time.”
Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey created magic in the classic movie, “Dirty Dancing,” back in 1987.
Grey, who played Frances "Baby" Houseman, remembered Swayze, who died Monday at age 57 after a battle with pancreatic cancer, by saying, "When I think of him, I think of being in his arms when we were kids, dancing, practicing the lift in the freezing lake, having a blast doing this tiny little movie we thought no one would ever see.”
Losing his battle with advanced pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze has passed away at the young age of 57-years-old.
According to the beloved actor's publicist, Annett Wolf, Swayze succumbed to the terminal illness in Los Angeles on Monday (September 14) with family near his side.
His courage is an inspiration to us all, and yesterday (August 25) Patrick Swayze was spotted leaving Cedars Sinai Hospital.
The 57-year-old actor, who has been battling pancreatic cancer for the last year and a half, made use of a wheelchair to help him get around as he made his way to the car.
Things are looking up for Patrick Swayze and his 20-month battle against deadly pancreatic cancer.
A photograph of the “Dirty Dancing” star came out last week of Swayze in his car in L.A. and the 56-year-old looks like he may be recovering.
