"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.
Fans of the actor were saddened to learn in March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from a particularly deadly form of cancer."
That sucks, I grew up watching a lot of his movies. 'Red Dawn', 'Point Break', and the ultimate in barroom brawling cheesiness, 'Roadhouse'. And that skit with him and the late Chris Farley on SNL was hilarious. R.I.P. man. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=8574333

Another Hollywood death, though this one isn't nearly as shocking. RIP. I loved him in Donnie Darko.
