'Dirty Dancing' star Patrick Swayze at 57

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Patrick Swayze, the hunky 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.

He was one of my favorites.

Jaboomer.........how neat you actually visited the place where Dirty Dancin was filmed!


I knew soon we would hear of his passing, but it's still so very sad. I think I may rent Dirty Dancin and Ghost this weekend for my kids to see. He really was at his prime with these two movies.

Looks like People magazine had his obit written a long time ago. They included a quote from Natasha Richardson which I see has now been edited and removed.

I feel so bad for his family. By all accounts, he had a fantastic relationship with his wife and I'm sure she is completely devastated. I was so impressed with his will to live and his dignity during his battle with cancer. What a great guy.

I guess we knew it was coming.....sad. May he rest in peace and God bless his wife as she grieves and tries to heal. I didn't realize he sang "She's Like the Wind" from Dirty Dancing.

I am totally heartbroken, he was an amazing actor and an amazing man.
