During his life he entertained us. During his illness he fought a brave battle. RIP Patrick.
I too am so sad, he was my favourite actor and by all accounts a very lovely man. Why do these things happen to the best of us.
R.I.P. dearest Patrick, you will never be forgotten
A truly lovely person.
GinnyJ, that is what I can’t get round my head… the nicest people seem to get this awful disease. I did not dare to say it but it seems I am not alone…
RIP Patrick
Hi everyone
I saw and interview on iplayer where Patrick was speaking (very honestly & openly) about his cancer experience - that took strength. I found if very poignient (spelling!) when they showed ‘Ghost’ clip where he says to ‘Molly’ … ‘It’s amazing, you take the love with you’ - I had a few tears for lost loved ones (including my 2 beautiful hounds!)
Thank you Patrick for memories of some great films (Point Break along with Dirty Dancing are favourites for me). I truly hope you ‘took the love with you’.
Lots of love to everyone. Cathy x
They showed an interview with him on the BBC News 24 the other evening, it was filmed in 2006 when he came to London to do Guys and Dolls, so before his illness. I was really struck by his huge enthusiasm for life, so I found his death at such a young age very sad. I don’t really like movies like Dirty Dancing and Ghost as they are not my thing, but I do remember him in North and South, the series he did in the mid 80s about the American Civil War. I also liked his performance in Donnie Darko, where he played a weird TV evangelist who is exposed as a paedophile, it was so unexpected of him.
Oooh I am glad someone else remembers North and South…I fell in love with him then!
RIP
