11. One of the main songs from the movie’s soundtrack was titled “She’s Like the Wind.” It was actually co-written by Patrick Swayze and also performed by him as well, giving him both acting and singing credits in the film!
Patrick Swayze was born in the wrong time! While all of his film roles are iconic—and they definitely show off a little bit of what this Renaissance man could do—there’s no doubt that he would have been even more successful in a different era.
Can you just imagine if he’d been working onscreen during the age of other dancing and performing greats, like Fred Astaire?
12. Jennifer Grey’s father, Joel Grey (below, right), starred in a very short-lived musical called Goodtime Charley. The lead character played the son of Charlemagne, and one of the backup dancers on set was none other than Patrick Swayze!
Jennifer’s father, Joel Grey, was an insanely talented song-and-dance man in his own right! He’s now in his mid-80s, but during the height of his career, he was considered a staple in most Broadway shows.
He practically created the role of the Master of Ceremonies in the iconic Broadway show Cabaret. He’s a true legend.
