why does everyone keep saying he died? doesn't anyone know a dirty rumor started by a Jacksonville Florida radio station when they see it?

I think I've told this one elsewhere, but I was working at the hotel he stayed at when they were filming North & South Pt 2 in Natchez. He liked to hang out at the hotel bar, but inevitably would have to bail when the groupies started gathering around him. I'd seen him around for a few days, and he already knew about the service elevator by the time I happened to be walking through the lobby and met him coming the other way fast. "Hey buddy, can you help me a minute?""Sure, what's up?""Can you take me up to seven in the service elevator?""Sure, no problem."On the way up, he says "There were a couple of girls in the bar I had to get away from.""haha, glad to help."Silence while I concentrate on stopping the (manual) elevator flush with the 7th floor."Smooth.""Thanks...here you go.""'Preciate it, buddy.""Any time."

If anyone can find an old "Prime Time Live" or "20/20" clip, filmed during Ghost promotion, in which Swayze breaks down in tears while relating to Barbara Walters that his father threw him out of the house after telling Swayze that he wanted to be a dancer. The guy could roll with the punches.
― vulva eyes (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 02:14 (fourteen years ago) link
*er, after SWAYZE told him. My version's still awesome.
his father threw him out of the house after telling Swayze that he wanted to be a dancer
That must have been one strange conversation.
"Son?"
"Yes dad."
"I...I want to be a dancer. Now get the HELL out of my house!"

Fuck now I want that to be in a movie or something. That should be the opening scene.

Acting is so fucking mysterious. Over the Xmas break I watched the last 10 minutes of Dirty Dancing -- a movie which in eighth grade defined heterosexuality for me, for better or worse -- with my parents. Dad, who's no sucker for this sort of thing, said, "He's so likable, isn't he?" It had nothing to do with Swayze's acting -- the dude was just aces. You liked to watch him.

My girlfriend, who had a bit of a (ostensibly ironic, but really, I think, real) passion for Swayze, once informed me that his favorite color was "faded black."
Make of that what you will.

there's something very charmingly morbz-ian about him scanning through the DVD to find a swayze interview, even in a movie that is kind of beneath his standards and all.

does it bother you, morbz, that ben gazzara is infinitely better known to everyone (even film geeks) as brad wesley in road house than for anything he ever did w/ cassavetes (or anything else, for that matter)?
shit, i wonder what gazzara himself thinks of this distinction -- and if anyone ever asked him.
