Sadly, the talented heartthrob, Patrick Swayze was pronounced dead today, September 14, 2009. The 57 year old actor, dancer and singer-songwriter, suffered from pancreatic cancer for nearly two years. His battle was with courage and determination.
Patrick was well-known for his lead in Dirty Dancing, Ghost, City of Joy, Road House, the TV miniseries, North and South and many more. In 1991 he was nominated for “Sexiest Man Alive” by People magazine. His last project was the TV series, The Beast, which was canceled as Swayze’s health declined.
Patrick is the son of Patsy Swayze, a choreographer, from whom he obviously got much of his talent and inspiration from.
Patrick Swayze gave much to the world of entertainment with his charm, good looks and abundance of talent. Thank you Patrick! May you find eternal peace.
