“Nobody puts Baby in the corner.” – HeraldSun

PATRICK Swayze, star of Dirty Dancing and Ghost, has died aged 57. He had been suffering from pancreatic cancer.

Dirty Dancing, which was made for a modest budget and almost scrapped by its studio, became a massive box-office hit, earning Golden Globe nominations for both stars and spawning the Oscar-winning hit single (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.

The Texas native began his career as a dancer and made dozens of stage, film and TV appearances over four decades. Pop culture immortality came with 1987’s Dirty Dancing, which defied Hollywood expectations to become one of the most-watched movies of all time.

Swayze played the swaggering Castle in the film opposite Jennifer Grey’s sheltered teenager, Frances “Baby” Houseman, who becomes smitten with Castle while on vacation at a New York resort during the 1960s.

An unlikely romance builds between the pair as Castle trains the gawky teen to stand in for his partner at a dance-off in the film’s climactic scene and confronts her father with the often-quoted line from the film: “Nobody puts Baby in the corner.”
