Patrick Swayze as Vida Boheme
on location in Loma, Nebraska
Swayze was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best
Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical for his role as Vida.
As a dancer,
Patrick Swayze had been telling women how to walk in high heels for years. "You
know," he says, "a lot of women in high heels walk bent-kneed, like Minotaurs,
and so from a dancer's point of view I've tended to tell them how to do it gracefully, and
now I've had a chance to put my money where my mouth was. And I found out it was a lot
harder than I thought. Especially walking in gravel, like we did in Loma. No woman can
walk in high heels on gravel and look cool, you know."
