Patrick Swayze – star of
Dirty Dancing,
Ghost,
Point Break,
Road House and
Donnie Darko – has died aged 57-years-old of pancreatic cancer. Swayze was once voted People magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' and also dabbled in singing, performing songs on the
Dirty Dancing soundtrack. His breakthrough role as dance instructor Johnny Castle had ladies (and fellas) swooning and he still gives audiences goosebumps with "Nobody puts Baby in the corner".
Later in his career, Swayze performed in the stage versions of
Guys and Dolls and
Chicago. The all singing, acting and dancing Swayze was married to his wife Lisa for 34 years. The couple met in 1970 when he was 18-years-old and she was just 14-years-old.
This is a man who wore meggings, danced, starred in 'chick flicks', whose character Bodhi said "They only live to get radical" and was still a dignified gentleman.
Nobody puts Swayze in the corner.
