R.I.P: Patrick Swayze Loses Cancer Battle at 57


Movie star Patrick Swayze has died today, according to his publicist. He was 57 years old.

The Dirty Dancing and Ghost star famously fought a public battle against an advanced stage of pancreatic cancer, starting in January of 2008. Refusing to give up, Swayze starred in the A&E television series The Beast. The show lasted one season.

In the last year of his life, Patrick Swayze was interviewed by Barbara Walters, where he wished to survive long enough to find a cure for cancer.

Swayze is survived by his wife Lisa Niemi.
