Crazy for Swayze
from The Plaza Classic Podcast Hosted by El Paso Community Foundation
Patrick Swayze became a heartthrob in the 1980s, and broke hearts when he died at age 57 after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. The star of Dirty Dancing and Ghost has been gone for 15 years, but Stephanie Valle and Lisa Elliott are doing everything they can to preserve his legacy by advocating for the screening of as much of his filmography as possible during the Plaza Classic Film Festival. Festival advisory committee member Erin Ritter joins the Swayze Fan Club's El Paso Chapter to talk about the movie star and their favorite films. November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and Nov. 21 is World Pancreatic Cancer Day. Learn about diagnosis, prevention and treatment. The podcast is brought to you by the El Paso Community Foundation with support from El Paso Community College. Read about the Plaza Classic Film Festival. Check out the show notes on this episode.
