The Inspiring Life of Patrick Swayze
His Biggest Break – Dirty Dancing
When the creators of Dirty Dancing came up with the idea of a coming-of-age movie that dealt with love and dancing, they probably had Patrick Swayze in mind to star in the lead role as Johnny Castle. He was perfect for the part as he had the looks, as well as the ability to dance well, both of which were needed in the movie. Originally set to be shown for just a week before being released on video, the low-budget film surprised everyone when it became a box office success, catapulting its stars, Swayze and its female lead, actress Jennifer Grey, to stardom.
