NEW YORK (AP) – 'Dirty Dancing' made Patrick Swayze a superstar, but when he first read the script, he found it a little clean. The actor, who died on September 14 of cancer, writes in his memoir, "It seemed fluffy – nothing more than a summer-camp movie." The memoir 'The Time of My Life' comes out next week. Swayze's reaction was completely different about another future smash, 'Ghost'. He immediately wanted to be in it and persuaded producer Jeff Zucker to cast him despite scepticism that Swayze could play a sensitive leading man.
