Patrick Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into viewers’ hearts with “Dirty Dancing” and then broke them with “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,” said a statement released Monday evening by his publicist, Annett Wolf. No other details were given.

Fans of the actor were saddened to learn in March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from a particularly deadly form of cancer.

He had kept working despite the diagnosis, putting together a memoir with his wife and shooting “The Beast,” an A&E drama series for which he had already made the pilot. It drew a respectable 1.3 million viewers when the 13 episodes ran in 2009, but A&E said it had reluctantly decided not to renew it for a second season.

Swayze said he opted not to use painkilling drugs while making “The Beast” because they would have taken the edge off his performance. He acknowledged that time might be running out given the grim nature of the disease.

When he first went public with the illness, some reports gave him only weeks to live, but his doctor said his situation was “considerably more optimistic” than that.

“I’d say five years is pretty wishful thinking,” Swayze told ABC’s Barbara Walters in early 2009. “Two years seems likely if you’re going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I’d better get a fire under it.”

Sad.

He was definitely a fighter, just like he was in the movie Road House. RIP Swayze.

I've always wanted to find a bar with a cage JUST to throw bottles at it a la Roadhouse *sigh*

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but PLEASE DO NOT put Swayze as a Fafahead unless you delete "i did it for the fafarazzi points"...sometimes I wish we could just have a simple RIP up there outta respect tho

I knew this news was coming, Pancreatic Cancer is one of the worst kinds in terms of survival rates. My dh's grandfather was diagnosed in January and passed in February while we were pregnant with our first son. It is a terrible illness, but I am glad he survived long enough to say his goodbyes and perform in one last show.

My thoughts are with his family.
