according to his publicist, actor Patrick Swayze (Dirty Dancing, Roadhouse, 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," according to the press release. Swayze achieved hip hop immortality when when the word "swayze" became synonymous with ghost (to bounce, to be out or leave suddenly), after his role opposite Demi Moore in the Oscar-winning date movie Ghost. for more on the actor, go here.-gM
Swayze was one of those actors who held a charm and presence on par with the likes of character actors Michael Keaton and Kurt Russell. He didn't command double digit millions, but he added character to any scene he was in. He will be missed.
