Or Mary Travers from Peter, Paul and Mary fame?
Patrick Swayze was a very brave man who suffered a terrible illness with much dignity. I didn't really follow his film career since Dirty Dancing, which I personally thought was a 'nice little film' as I do not really go to the cinema or watch films much these days.
I never watch any sort of cooking on TV so was not that familiar with Keith Floyd, except to say he had the same surname as my grandmother (who in any case died long before I was born). I heard on Radio Four that he did a lot to promote men in the kitchen and got a lot of men cooking. That's a very good thing - except the trend completely passed my husband by!
Dear, dear Mary Travers was a beautiful person who did an enormous amount for human rights for over forty years. She aslo had a beautiful singing voice. Peter, Paul and Mary were great favourites of mine as I was growing up because they sang lovely, sing-along songs that had a moral theme to them and I happen to like folk music very much - even the commercial stuff.
It's a shame we didn't think of tributes for these people earlier in the week (I did a tribute to Mary Travers on another music site I belong to) but personally, I have seen so much death this year and have been to so many funerals that I just want to get away from it when I'm on a site like this. Sadly, even as I type, my father-in-law is on his death bed and has a few days, maybe a fortnight at most, to live.
