Product Description

This celebratory valentine to Patrick Swayze explores his kaleidoscopic career, from the early days on Broadway and TV to his defining roles in films such as "Dirty Dancing," "Road House," "Point Break," and "Ghost," and gives us an intimate look at the charismatic, complex man who seemed destined from birth to capture our hearts. Patrick Swayze: One Last Dance, with never-before-heard stories including his insatiable drive for pushing the limits and his many brushes with death, his early family life and fairytale love story with his wife Lisa Niemi, and how his refusal to be typecast led him to roles that fell both in and out of favour with critics and fans alike. Surprising and fascinating details, such as the heavy tension on the set of Dirty Dancing with co-star Jennifer Grey, the inspiration behind Patrick's drag queen character Vida Boheme on To Wong Foo, and Patrick's struggle to deal with his Sexiest Man Alive status and the throngs of women who came along with it, will captivate his myriad fans. Patrick Swayze: One Last Dance is a loving portrait of a man who's mesmerized and inspired us for decades.

Patrick Swayze One Last Dance
Read this book in a day and loved it. I am a fan of Patrick's and if you are it is a must, though with his own book coming out soon you may rather save your money for that,as I expect it will be even better than this book. Some great photos and I am glad to own it.

One Last Dance Patrick Swayze
What I wanted to know before purchasing this product is what condition it was in. It was in perfect condition. What price it was. If I had to pay post and packaging. Which I did'nt, that was good. Find out what the book was about, if it was worth purchasing it. Who it was by. If the book was hard back or paperback. Who was I buying it from. I was happy with all this information before purchasing.
