Today would have been Patrick’s 69th birthday.  His epic 80s career had every role imaginable from action hero to sexy, dancing heartthrob. 

 

Return of the Rebels

In the late 80s, ‘Dirty Dancing’ was considered a little risque and definitely not something ‘decent people’ did.  Drama, dancing, love and betrayal, social awareness, and a little rebellion.
