Patrick Swayze left us at only 57 & I’ve been thinking about Swayze more & more lately. I think the reason is 1) I love his films- like Point Break- and always find myself sinking back into them. But 2) I just don’t think there are any actors comparable to Swayze in Hollywood right now. He was raw but graceful. Masculine but sensitive. Swayze combined a lot of contradictory parts into what became an awesome movie star.
