Heads Up: Barbara Walters Special With Patrick Swayze

Thanks for the info! I just watched a clip of the interview and was wondering what time it would be on tonight. Big fan here too, I've seen most of his movies. Did you know that he has a new series called 'The Beast', in which he will be playing FBI agent Charles Barker? It will be on A&E sometime early this year.

I am sorry that I missed this interview. I knew nothing about it and heard nothing about it. Although not a big one, I am a fan of Patrick Swayze. I have liked so many of his movies but one of my all time favorites is The Outsiders which I think was one of his very first movies.

I have seen all but , to wong foo thanks for everthing Julie not sure about 3 wishes. Just watched the pecos bill one on the western channel the other day. I wrote it down am sure Daughter will tape it for she loves him.

I missed it but heard all the PR and coverage on the show after the show. Really sad news for him. I'm impressed though of all his accomplishments and his new show coming out in January.

On Tuesday the TV show "The View" showed a clip from the interview. From what I saw it appears to be a very honest, open, no frills interview. If I can stay awake long enough I will watch it.

I saw the program and it was so heartbreaking to see him and his wife together because it was so obvious how much they loved one another. Not only that but did you see how Patrick looks? He looks so sickly instead of that handsome dude he once was. He's in stage 4 in his cancer, although I'm not sure how many stages there are but being a stage 4 doesn't sound good at all. Have you seen "Along for the ride"? He's the star role in that movie and it's really really good! All in all, I hope he's able to beat the damned cancer! I'm rooting him on!!

Already read all the news about it this morning... on the internet. He is too young for dying of cancer. But such is life. Not a huge fan of his. Something about his face expression I don't like. Even so I cannot judge... because I did not see all his movies... my favourite one was Roadhouse. Loved the music. I bought the CD "Roadhouse". And then bought the CD of the Jeff Healey Band "Hell to Pay".

First it is January 7th. I should know , it is my birthday. I must be the only person who was old enough to see dirty Dancing but didn't. it isn't my type of film. I loved Patrick in Roadhouse. That Is my type of film. In fact I live my life by the adage. " Be nice until it is time not to be nice." I liked To Wong Foo also. And I did see Ghost. I am looking forward to this interview and his new series. Have you heard about his new series?It is called The Beast. It is an action thriller that will air on A&E.Oops, do you have cable? I have forgotten.

I have been looking forward to tonight's show. I just wish it was one under happier circumstances. I am not a huge movie watcher but I have seen Ghost over and over. From some of the clips of tonight's show that I have seen it is going to be a really good one and I think I need to have the kleenex handy.

Hi pyewacket! I like Patrick Swayze especially when I watched Ghost a long time ago. I have seen only a few of his movies but do love the way he portray his characters. i have seen a preview of the interview and that was the only time that I learned that he has pancreatic cancer. I hope that he gets well and a miracle will just be around the corner. I admire his courage and I hope he will survive cancer. Take care and have a nice day! lovelots..faith210

I watched the Special with Patrick Swayze. It broke my heart. I felt for his wife. To have been together for over a quarter of a century and know that it will not last much longer has to be heart wrenching. He put on a brave front but I think he's pissed at the paparazzi for spreading such horrible lies. I couldnt imagine having to deal with the worst cancer possible and have to read the tabloids that I have days to live. I would think thats the last thing I would want to deal with. Shame on the tabloids for using someones failing health to sell papers. My thoughts and prayers are with Patrick and his wife. dl

You meant, January 7th, right? I watched that. It was a good interview. I think Patrick has a very good attitude about his situation and seems to be doing pretty well under the circumstances. It's got to be hard on him, his wife and anyone else close to him, yet they seem to be battling this head on! They are real troopers! I am a Swayze fan too. I have seen "Dirty Dancing". That one came out when I was a teenager. I bought a copy of it on VHS and used to watch it over and over again....he looked sooo hot in that movie ...... Anyways, I've also seen "Road House", another movie in which Swayze was extremely hot in!....And how I would have loved to have been that lady doctor in the roof scene....ahem... Anyways....I have also seen "Point Break", "Ghosts", "To Wong Foo", "Next of Kin", "Black Dog", "Letters from a Killer", "Three Wishes" and "Father Hood".

Thanks for letting me know, I don't watch much TV anymore, I am always at my computer. I am a Patrick Swayze fan also, I used to love his movies. I remember seeing him in Dirty Dancing and in Next Of Kin. Those were great movies and he is a really good actor. I am really praying that he can beat the odds and overcome in his fight and battles with cancer. For all of the fans out there, they say that the power of prayer is pretty strong and if we all just take a few moments to pray for a fellow human being maybe we can help. It don't matter what your religion is, Just Pray!

Well, I caught the special.Had been looking forward to it since I heard it mentioned on The View. I am a tv watcher and old movie buff. He is an extremely strong individual. His wife is also. I enjoyed To Wong Foo so much. What a guy(and the other two as well) to take such a chance on this type of storyline. Great movie! And Ghost- WOW! It would be so sad to have just a year or so of The Beaast and that is all. He has quite a fight ahead of him. Miracle is right! I wish him well.

I missed this show. I wanted to know how is he doing? What all did he have to say. I am also a fan and would like to know if theres anyway I can still see the interview? I really hoped that the treatments were going well and what he felt about his treatments.

I am a big fan of Patrick Swayze and love all the movies he has played in. The one I loved him the best in was Ghost. I think he did a outstanding performance in that. I am sad that I missed this special on him. Maybe they will have something else on him. I am interested in his background. I think it would be very interesting to know.

I am a big fan and I will go right now and set my tivo to record that so I don't miss it. I have a hard time remembering to watch things. I was devastated when I heard that Patrick had pancreatic cancer. I am a biologist and I know how bad that cancer is and how low the odds are of surviving. I have actually participated in research in that area. It is such a hard cancer to catch and treat. I have been a fan since his Dirty Dancing days, I loved that movie so much that I rented it out of the video store that my parents owned so often that they finally bought me a copy so I would leave the store copy in the store. lol. I have seen Dirty Dancing of course and Dirty Dancing II (he does a cameo in that one), And like you I have seen the mini series North and the South, Next of Kin, Roadhouse, Ghost, To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar, Point Break, Three Wishes, Red Dawn, and Tall Tales of Pecos Bill. But you forgot the Outsiders, Youngblood, Black Dog, Letters from a Killer, and Donnie Darko--all of which I have seen. And there were a few more in the IMDB database that I haven't seen. I am kind of interested in seeing that new series with him in it called Beast that will be on A & E soon.

I love Patrick Swayze - Dirty Dancing and Ghost were two of my favourite movies. I was deeply saddened to hear that he had cancer. I am in the UK and we do not get ABC here so I won't get to see him but I admire him for allowing the public to be a part of his battle with cancer. God Bless you Patrick - you are great.

me a great fan of Patrick Swayze, also... i think i first saw him in 'North + South'.... i used to have such a big crush him then.. not all of his movies were shown here.. most of them i watched thru' videos.. the two major movies that i know hit the big screens were - 'Ghost' and 'Dirty Dancing',... and i went to watch those at the cinemas.. movies like 'Roadhouse', 'To Wong Foo', 'Red Dawn', 'City of Joy'.. i watched on video.. i think those are all the movies i know that has Patrick Swayze in them..

I think he is a good actor nut I have not seen as many of his movies as you. I saw Roadhouse and Ghost and most of Dirty dancing. If he had made any science fiction movies I would probably have been a bigger fan.
