Seriously, if this story about how a girl became pen pals with John Hughes doesn't make you tear up, you're made of much stronger stuff than me: Sincerely, John Hughes |

but MM captured my sentiment exactly. I should point out that 15-year-old me likely didn't express myself with the same level of reflection or analysis upon first viewing. It was probably more like, "*grunt* Me feel lots like that."  |

That's such a shame. He has ranch land in New Mexico and several friends in common with my father. Dad & OB3 met Patrick a few times. They say he really was just the nicest guy.
And really, how many people can claim to legitimately hold the mantle of 80's Icon?
To steal a particularly poignant phrase from my friend who lost her husband to leukemia . . . fuck cancer.

No kidding. Horrible  Not that I knew him, but he came across as such a regular guy. And married since 1975 to the woman he met while still a teenager...that's the kind of thing I think of as a real achievement and an indication of character, especially for a couple in the entertainment industry. |

I had really hoped he'd beat it. Fuck cancer, indeed. It has taken far too many people too young.

I just saw a promo for the Special Edition of Dirty Dancing with additional scenes, Saturday night at 8/7c on ABC Family Channel.

I was just browsing around the web looking for some reference photos, and I ran across this:  I don't know why it struck a chord with me. It got me thinking about the actor, the character, all kinds of stuff. Maybe it hit me because of the Swayze thing. I have no idea what the story behind this photo is- It obviously was taken during the filming of one of the Superman movies, but it has a bit of a candid feel. I also love that it's b/w, and grainy...a real departure from the way Superman is almost always depicted. Just a really compelling pic on a lot of levels. |

I was SO sad when I read about this. I thought it was weird that I was since I didn't know the guy. But, he was my first big time favorite. I mean, sure when I was really young I had some Alex P Keaton in there but when Dirty Dancing came out I fell head over heals. I looked for me a Johnny in high school. (didn't find him but that's another story..lol) And like you guys said, he seems so "normal" (duh..but you know) and down to earth. And really I hate hearing that such a great guy is missing from the landscape. FUCK CANCER!! I agree. |

I saw Katie Couric blurb that Henry Gibson from Laugh In died, yesterday. If any of you have ever been on TV, you'd better get your ass to the doctor. Your chances of surviving 2009 don't look good.  |
