I knew it was coming, but it was still terrible to hear about Patrick Swayze. He was a part of my life forever, of course in The Outsiders, which I was obsessed with! I saw Dirty Dancing as a child and my mom drug me back to see it several more times...But my favorite role was in the made for TV series 'North and South' As Orrie Maine, he was the perfect southern gentleman. I was so compulsive about this story that I read the entire book saga after watching the TV movies, which was certainly not age appropriate for a girl in elementary school but being the youngest of 7 has its advantages, no one was paying any attention to what the hell I was reading! The Maine family had all kinds of issues, crazy people...I loved them, and they made MY southern family seem totally normal...I am going to re-watch the series this week and remember Mr. Swayze in the 1980's, so young and beautiful and the perfect man in my mind.
