Sad news. In case you didn't know, Patrick Swayze lost his battle with Pancreatic Cancer. He was known for many roles including his most famous one...Road House(I know people liked him in Dirty Dancing but please humor me.) He started out acting in small roles in the late 70s and early 80s before getting a break as Darrel Curtis in the adaptation of S.E. Hinton's book The Outsiders. He went on to star in blockbusters like Red Dawn and the mini-series North and South Book 2. He did gain stardom with Dirty Dancing but I still liked Road House the best of all his roles. Love him or hate him...no one should go down like that.
'nuff said.
