    Had to look at this, because Patrick was my all-time favorite. My grand daughter & I watched "Dirty Dancing" about a bazillion times when she was tiny. "Nobody puts baby in the corner!" (You must really, really relate to Halloween)

    I remember Patrick in Dirty Dancing (love, love, love that movey!), and, of course, Ghost, most, but I was always taken by his divere talents. Knowing his love of dance, and seeing his talent and skill as and actor (at least part of it), it sad that he gone, but I know that he is in a better place now!
