Patrick Swayze, the actor who danced his way into viewers’ hearts with “Dirty Dancing” and then broke them with “Ghost,” died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.
“Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months,” said a statement released Monday evening by his publicist, Annett Wolf. No other details were given.

Dirty dancing and Ghost fantastic films but lets not forget Roadhouse and Point Break.
.
They’re all quite forgettable films i’m afraid…as a person i believe he was one of the nicest most personable chaps in Hollywood…but as an actor i’m afraid he was just a prize ham

A real shame.
He was also a breeder of champion Arabian horses and a licensed pilot, among his many other interests.
