Patrick Swayze passed away last week after a fight with pancreatic cancer. The star of many films, including Dirty Dancing and Ghost, he also brought a great character to television this past year in the series The Beast (reviewed here earlier on this site). Until recently I did not know he had a job with the Joffrey Ballet's second company and moved to Broadway after an old football injury ended his dancing career. He was always a dancer at heart, from childhood all the way to one of his last films One Last Dance, where he starred with his wife, Lisa Niemi. Patrick Swayze is survived by his wife and mother.
