TV Guide Network to air rare Swayze chat
TV Guide Network says it will air an exclusive sit-down interview in which the late U.S. actor Patrick Swayze recounts his favorite Dirty Dancing
moments.
Patrick Swayze: The Unseen Interview
will be telecast for the first time Thursday at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
A lot of people say this was a movie about the loss of innocence. And I believe it was a movie about the rediscovery of innocence,
Swayze said during the interview. Sometimes a movie encapsulates a period or a moment in all of our lives in such a way that it never dies. And I think ‘Dirty Dancing’ did that.
The network said the interview is taken exclusively from a special 20th anniversary DVD edition of 1987′s Dirty Dancing
from Lionsgate Home Video.
Swayze died Monday after a 20-month battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57. Besides Dirty Dancing,
he was best known for his work in the contemporary film classics The Outsiders
and Ghost.
