Yahoo! movie news is reporting that Patrick Swayze has passed away at the age of 57 following a well-publicized battle with pancreatic cancer. Swayze, the star of films such as "Dirty Dancing", "Point Break" and "Ghost", had been battling the disease for the past twenty months.
"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. His last role was an A&E show titled "The Beast", which the network had opted not to pick up for a second season despite a respectable audience turnout.
