From Disney days to battling pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze has quite a story to tell.
It’s just a shame he doesn’t want to tell it, at least not to True Hollywood Stories.
Nevertheless, bravely overlooking any involvement from the subject himself, this show attempts to tell the actor’s story via people who may once have sat next to him in a green room.
Marvel as THS travels to Houston to talk to Swayze’s childhood and family friends who talk candidly about his will to succeed on the dance floor, something they would never have bullied him about, oh no.
Thrill as actor C Thomas Howell offers his unique insight into working with Swayze on such hits as The Outsiders, Red Dawn and Grandview USA.
Gasp at hardly-ever-seen before footage of Swayze’s plane that crashed and could have killed him but didn’t.
Got room for more spills? You’re in luck. There’s also anecdotes from director Joshua Sinclair who weighs in about Swayze’s performance on the unreleased film Jump, plus special footage from the film.
Wowzers.
Get well soon Patrick. Sincerely, our thoughts are with you.
