"I was a major fan of Patrick's work, and would never do anything to hurt him or his family. His tremendous talent has been preserved on film for generations to come to observe and enjoy. It is truly sad that his life was cut short and that we will not be able to follow his continued growth as a one of our greatest performers."
The Dirty Dancing actor passed away, age 57, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Suzanne's problem is she really thinks she's smarter than everybody else because she's forgotten what a stupid dumb ass she is. No matter who she made that comment to, she should have just kept her big fat rich entitled mouth shut.

Suzanne Sommers should keep her mouth shut, she was one of the lucky ones and by the way it has not been long enough for her to be sure she won't get cancer back, so perhaps she should keep quite.

I beleive her that she made a private off record statement that got put out there, that she didn't mean for this to go public. But she's still a lunatic. I never could stand Suzanna Somers and all her crazy talk.

Untwist your panties, please..... The media is so quick to take what people say and just twist nothing into something.

I agree 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reporters are getting into a gray area when they 'undercover' interview without telling the person, in this case Suzanne Somers, their sneaky intentions.

She needn't have apologized. Folks, she didn't say anything worng, or bad. All she said was her own personal opinion. This woman has had cancer herself, so if she wants to make a comment on chemo, then she CAN.

zenjen, It was chemo and radiation that helped her survive,but now she is on this so called nutritiional craze that eveything can be cured by nutrition and that is a bunch of baloney. She was wrong to say it in the first place.
