Even though Patrick Swayze was a Hollywood star and "the sexiest man alive," he never strayed far from his Houston roots.

Public relations executive Judy Nichols met Patrick when he and Lisa came to ride in an Arabian horse show on the Galleria ice rink to benefit St. Joseph Hospital Foundation. Later, when she visited his five-acre spread “Rancho Bizarro” in California, she was amazed to see hundreds of scripts that were piled high all over the house. “Everybody wanted him. I remember he was always singing; he had a recording studio in the house and wrote a lot of music. He was an incredibly nice man. Lisa told me that they were so poor when they got married that she had to make the clothes they wore.” Patrick and Lisa moved to his New Mexico Rancho de Dias Alegres (Ranch of Happy Days) shortly thereafter and turned it into a wildlife preserve and timber farm.
