Or: He was the first man I ever laid eyes on. More correctly, he's the first man I ever laid my eyes on and they stayed there. For about three years. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="09b674f0.jpg" border=0 width="103" height="79" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">I was 12 the first time I saw "Dirty Dancing" and let me tell <IMG SRC="09d674b0.jpg" border=0 width="103" height="75" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> you, my jaw dropped through the floor when "Baby" and I saw "Johnny" for the first time. All of a sudden everything with horses faded in my head (mind you, I was one of those 'I Love Horses' chick for years!), and all there was left was Patrick. Patrick, Patrick, Patrick. </div> <bR> <div> "Dirty Dancing" is probably his most well-known thing. He started out as a dancer when he was six and now - at 50 - he's made his last(?) dance movie called "One Last Dance". It was supposed to be called "Without A Word" and has been *in production* for like a decade. Starring him and his wife, Lisa Niemi (for the n'th time). She's Finnish. For a while I was annoyed with the fact that he couldn't have stopped by Norway before he went all the way to Finland - until I realised the man was 29 years older than me. Ouch! </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="09f516b0.jpg" border=0 width="81" height="107" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">I do remember when I was younger - around seven or eight - that every Saturday night we'd watch Eastenders and then "North and South". Back in the days when families actually watched TV together - and way back when there was actually some quality TV... (What's on a Saturday night now anyway? "Idol"? Football? The re-run of "Popstars"? Makes you want to stay in and vegetate in front of the screen, doesn't it?)</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0a0605d0.jpg" border=0 width="96" height="93" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">So, besides "Dirty Dancing" and "North and South", what did he <IMG SRC="0a6506d0.jpg" border=0 width="80" height="109" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> do? He did "Road House". And, oh God, did he do it. I watched that movie a zillion times - a certain scene inside his barn-room with Kelly Lynch twice as many times - and though it's <I>slightly</I> 80's, it's fun. Yeah, it's nice to have something to rest your eyes on for 90 minutes... <IMG SRC="0670f0f0.gif" border=0 width="15" height="15" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0a35b570.jpg" border=0 width="91" height="87" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">He also did "Ghost" with Demi Moore.

I think every girl/woman has a thing for a soft ballad from time to time, and this pretty much does it for most of those females. He also did a couple of songs for the soundtrack to "Road House" - "Cliff's Edge" and "Raising Heaven (In Hell Tonight)", plus "Brothers" for "Next of Kin". </div> <bR> <div> Lately his movies haven't intrigued me as much as his past efforts, but it's a fond memory anyway.
