"It is intriguing and useful to listen to the sacred rhetoric of the cinema groups and intellectual critics, but very little of it gets up on the screen in the next picture." -Jerry Lewis
Laat maar hangen. Denk dat alles wat ik nu schrijf hier toch weggehaald word.
Three months on and cancer stricken Patrick Swayze is fighting back
He has a cowboy hat and dark glasses - but clearly no intention of riding off into the sunset just yet.Patrick Swayze has been pictured looking more healthy than he has in months. The Dirty Dancing star, 56, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer early last year, appeared to have gained a little weight and grown some of his hair back. He had even added a goatee.
Frail: Many feared the end was near for Patrick Swayze (L), but he now seems to have gained a little weight, filling out healthily around his face
Tubes thought to be catheters for his chemotherapy could be seen hanging in front of his shirt but Swayze was smiling and even indulging in a couple of cigarette breaks.
The pictures were a great contrast to photos taken in April, when he looked frail and thin. Early on in his cancer fight, many fans feared the actor would not last this long.
But it is thought he had an advanced form of radiotherapy which is offering new hope to sufferers.
The CyberKnife technique shoots hundreds of beams of radiation at hard-to-reach tumours.
Last week cancer patient Robert Ferrant, 62, became one of the first in the UK to have the procedure. Mr Ferrant, from Jersey, said the treatment meant he 'actually had hope of a cure'.
Golden years: Swayze hit the big time in 1987 when he starred as a dance instructor in 'Dirty Dancing'
The machine, which was reportedly also used by Swayze, shoots hundreds of beams of radiation at difficult-to-reach tumours.
It moves with the patient's breathing, meaning it can target tumours deemed inoperable due to their proximity to major blood vessels.
The latest images of Swayze appear to show a distinct improvement in the actor's condition.
In May the former Ghost star appeared frail and painfully thin during another outing and fears grew that he might not have long to live.
On the evidence of these images however it appears Swayze is not going down without a fight.

Sorry dat ik het zeg, maar het begint hier aardig op Story/Privé e.d. te lijken. Dit soort verschrikkelijke foto's zijn wat mij betreft een grote inbreuk op Swayze's privacy.

"The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle." - Stanley Kubrick
Hij is overleden, echt zonde op deze leeftijd. Ik heb toch veel plezier aan zijn films beleefd!
Ik las het net op AOL news. RIP.
Groeten Peter
Moest wel denken aan het mooie einde van Point Break als Bodhi...
Hoewel ik bijna nooit kijk naar de RTL zenders vind ik dit wel een goeie actie van ze!
Patrick heeft dit zeker verdient!!
4 dagen geleden was ik op Hollywood Boulevard. Zn ster op de Walk of Fame was een bloemenfestijn met kaarsen enzo.
Jammer van de Hare Krishna die ernaast stonden te verkondigen dat ie niet 'echt' overleden was etc.
