Guest Spread the Love Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 'Dirty Dancing' star Patrick Swayze has died after a nearly two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57. (Sept. 14, 2009) Patrick Wayne Swayze (pronounced "sweɪzi") August 18, 1952 September 14, 2009) was an American actor, dancer and singer-songwriter. He was best-known for his roles as romantic leading men in the films Dirty Dancing and Ghost and as Orry Main in the North and South television miniseries. He was listed by People magazine as its "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1991. Diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer in January 2008, Swayze told Barbara Walters a year later that he was "kicking it". However, he died from the disease on September 14, 2009. His last role was the lead in an A&E TV series, The Beast, which premiered on January 15, 2009. However, due to a prolonged decline in health, Swayze was unable to promote the series, and on June 15, 2009, Entertainment Tonight reported that the show had been canceled.

JT Allen Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 While I didn't personally care for him as an actor, I would not have wished his untimely demise on him, for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
