I love how when two people have a complicated relationship they ''hate each other''. Jennifer and Patrick both had strong personalities. They couldn't stand each other during the filming of their first movie but during dirty dancing (so like 8 years after their first movie) they made ammends. Patrick said on multiple occasions that no one has ever annoyed him the way Jennifer did but he also said he only ever had chemistry with two people: his wife AND jennifer. They were not best friends, but they did appreaciate and care for each other. Life is not a disney movie and there is more emotions than just love and hate out there.

They filmed their first movie Red Dawn in 1984, then Dirty Dancing in 1986.. That's not "8 years after", but good comment though.
What a lovely guy he was, highly professional, gifted, kind. A real gentleman.

notice how he talks so highly of her even if it was a struggle to work with each other...what a good soul
It's true that Grey and Swayze disliked each other based on something that happened during the filming of "Red Dawn." But later they worked out their differences and became friends. So, by the point of this interview, they were fine with each other.

Dirty Dancing launched Patrick Swayze to super stardom. He and Jennifer Gray were equally as good as each other. They don't and can't make classics like these anymore.
I love how honest both of them are in interviews. They both were frustrated with each other on set but grew to appreciate each other
He's just so amazing. In the memory of Patrick Wayne Swayze 😭❤🙏
Miss you Patrick .. sexiest man alive ! ❤️
I have grieved so much over this man. My wonderful sweetheart of a husband was snatched from me same age as Patrick. He died before Patrick, but when Patrick announced he had cancer. and watching him fight the good fight brought me back to my dear Don. God bless you Patrick, RIP. PS. If you see my Don up there, shake his hand, one good man to another.

What a great bloke. Taken way too early. Still can’t believe he’s gone. The last pictures of him are absolutely heartbreaking 😔 RIP
They really didn't hate each other. They were in another movie together, but this was the movie Dirty Dancing that they had to work really close together. I mean body to body, together. She was young and not a professional dancer like he was. Unfortunately, gossip magazines and rumors made it sound like they hated each other. They still respected and cared about each other even years after Dirty Dancing. But it's still sad that Patrick Swayze is gone. He was talented in acting and dancing... and gorgeous! 😁💗
Seeing Patrick at this age and healthy brings back memories of all the good films I saw him in. It was heart breaking to see him slide so quickly with that horrible disease. Rest In Peace Patrick.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That was an excellent description by Patrick Swayze of his work with Jennifer Grey. He was kind, honest and a great dancer and actor.
What a man Patrick was, forever missed but will always be remembered. 😌❤💐

@@jackspry9736 For someone as fit and healthy as Patrick, that is way too young. It is a shame Cancer got him. Patrick was seriously one of the most gifted entertainers of out time. He could Sing, dance, act, write poetry, music. He was incredibly loyal and devoted to his wife. Pinnacle of a human being. He was flawed like us all of course, but, his talent and ability was a cut above the rest.
Patrick must be so proud of Jennifer right now for the way she's competing on DWTS in his memory and for the love and respect she's shown him through the whole process. She said herself that she was too scared to try it in previous seasons. If she wins, it will be a victory for both her and Patrick. Go Jennifer!
one of my favourite films and one of my favourite actor Patrick Swayze rest in peace 🙏 🕊
From my point of view, Patrick Swayze was an awesome actor. He starred on many movies like: "Red Dawn", "Dirty Dancing", "Road House", "Ghost", "Point Break" and "Black Dog". He was an awesome actor. Patrick Swayze was an awesome actor.

What got me about this movie was that it was based on reality that had been forgotten. When the movie came out, my late father told me that all that behind the door, down in the basement dancing dirty was true. I saw him in a whole new light. Because I'm looking at him and thinking, "My father use to dance and dance dirty?" BLEW MY MIND! :o I can't even count the number of times I've watched this movie and have loved it every single time. Miss Mr. Swayze. RIP.

When "Dirty Dancing" came out I was a teenager and naturally I gave that movie "the finger", it was just "uncool"... a couple of years later I discovered it and to date it is one of my favorite movies. Thank you Mr. Swazye and Ms. Grey!

Jennifer is amazing i love her too -they thought that movie was going to be a flop-i went and seen it like 10 times in a week -i am old school tho -
I worked on this set and knew Patrick and his wife and oh the stories I have locked away... I’m still mad at him for dying. He was extraordinarily talented and such a beautiful, charismatic man, who commanded the attention of any room, but he pissed it all away! He smoked cigarettes CONSTANTLY and abused alcohol for many years and it cost him - and all those who loved him - everything! He kinda had 2 personalities really... he was so passionate, especially on set or the stage, but didn’t cope well with stress and was very difficult at times. He was incredibly hard on Jen throughout production of “Dirty Dancing.” She, like many actors, used humor to get through the long, physically grueling days and he couldn’t stand that. He’d say or behave angrily and she’d cry and he’d get mad and walk off to smoke. He’s a beloved actor and dancer but he could be a pain in the ass and sometimes I don’t think he realized the way he affected others. I don’t think she’s ever been able to fully enjoy the success of this movie and how much happiness it bright others because it was such a stressful, difficult time for her. And that makes me sad because she had the potential to be anything she wanted and as this movie wrapped and they began promoting it, she was different. She was convinced she had to have a nose job and like many people who try to fix inside feelings with outside action, it didn’t bring her a “cure.” I feel like they both had so much more to offer the world in terms of profound talent but that was arrested for them both too soon, albeit for very different reasons.

I know how much he smoked, and it amazes me that he could dance that well and be such an athlete with what he was doing to his lungs and body. It seems that many who get pancreatic cancer smoke and drink to excess.. I always picture him as handsome, charismatic but smelling of cigarettes. :) And Jennifer was more beautiful, to me, when she had the nose she was born with. It gave her character, and she looked unique. Anyway, the final result of the movie is that it was a masterpiece, in my book. I am not one to watch a movie more than once, but I have watched Dirty Dancing many many times. It was an incredible job by both stars, and I appreciate them. I so wish Patrick could have beaten his cancer, What a hunk he was! And his dance moves can't be matched.

I think it’s pretty evident that PS comes from a strict dance background and everyday work life balance whereas Jennifer comes from Broadway royalty and a famous father Joel Grey background. She had the privileged room to take her talent and subliminal learning for granted. If she didn’t make money she had a famous family and name to lean on. PS didn’t have that luxury he had to work hard and perform to survive and I believe he was always proving himself as a serious actor. Most of the time people that are rich just genuinely have no real understanding of the struggle plus she was young as well. They had beef because he challenged her comfort and she wasn’t having that because she had a strong and also privileged personality and background. When I saw her on DWTS and she was going to do dirty dancing Re dance and she broke down, it was very touching to see. In life we never know how long we are going to be here and what our fate will be. I’m sure she is forever grateful for that amazing experience and there is zero doubt that JG is extremely talented. PS hit the nail on the head. It came so easy for her she didn’t appreciate her natural gift or have that discipline because she grew up with that privilege of circumstance and giftedness

This myth of Patrick vs Jennifer is extremely disagreeable, to say the least. You seem to imply that Jennifer didn't work as hard as Patrick. That is contradicted by Patrick himself in his memoir, where he wrote: "Jennifer Grey worked as hard as anyone." and "Jennifer was working her a$$ off, and doing an amazing job considering the fact that she had never been a professional dancer." The issue is that Patrick made a huge mistake while dealing with Jennifer in DD. A common one, but still huge. He looked at her, saw someone who wasn't a professional dancer but had so much potential that he thought she was under some sort of obligation to pursuit that route in order to perform in that capacity as quickly as possible, even forgetting what her actual role in the movie was. It was not up to him to impose on Jennifer what he thought she should be or become, it was up to Jennifer, a fully grown woman, to decide how she should conduct herself and what her character (Baby) needed her to be. And she wasn't portraying a professional dancer. She was portraying a girl who half-assed a few dance steps in a couple of weeks and ended up having the confidence to perform a little better than that (emphasis on the word little). And you talk about discipline? Of course she had discipline. If she didn't, she wouldn't be there everyday in time for shooting the scenes, unlike Patrick, who was always late. The problem wasn't Jennifer. You can all make the excuses you want for him and place the "blame" on Jennifer, but that won't change the fact that the one with a misplaced attitude was Patrick. You don't bully people into what they are not willing or supposed to be. It's not your place. I understand that he was probably doing what was done to him, what was familiar to him, what he experienced. But he was wrong. A final remark: Patrick wasn't teaching Jennifer anything (he wasn't supposed to, really). Jennifer would learn the steps with Kenny Ortega, Patrick would learn the steps with Miranda Garrison, and then they would rehearse together and finally shoot the scenes. And when the time came for them to rehearse + shoot, Patrick, instead of being helpful to his co-star, who was playing an extremely demanding role (way more demanding for her than for him, let's face it), was sort of an a$$ to Jennifer, and made her extremely nervous and insecure. Hence the crying/giggling, etc. Why did he feel the need to take credit for teaching her? I don't know, maybe because she did such a great job IN SPITE OF HIM. Or maybe he was tone-deaf to the point of believing he was being a great teacher instead of the hindrance he actually was.
