Actor Patrick Swayze died today in his Los Angeles home at the age of 57. The star of such films as “Ghost,” “Dirty Dancing,” and “Red Dawn” succumbed to a battle with pancreatic cancer that he had been fighting for over a year and a half.
Swayze was diagnosed in January 2008, and had undergone chemotherapy and surgery. His most recent work was for an A&E series called “The Beast,” but due to Swayze’s health concerns the show was not promoted and subsequently cancelled. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Lisa Niemi.
