Patrick Swayze is a well-known actor, who starred in Dirty Dancing and Ghost and he has been fighting with pancreatic cancer for the last 20 months. Annett Wolf, Patrick Swayze’s publicist, told to the press that Mr. Swayze died on Monday with family on his side. Swayze, 57, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2008 and the doctors only gave him 6 months to live, though he survived for another 14 months. After he survived the 6 months the doctors predicted, he was planning to play in “The Beast”, a drama series for A&E and already filmed a season. “How do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you’re a dead man?” he said to Bill Carter of The New York Times last October. “You go to work.” Patrick Swayze had the role of an undercover F.B.I. agent and had the premiere in January. Just before the series began, Patrick Swayze has been invited on ABC to Barbara Walters Special and he talked about his illness, where he said: “I keep my heart and my soul and my spirit open to miracles.” Unfortunately, people didn’t even know it’s correct name, because a lot of them are searching for Patrick Swazy, which is sad.

Patrick Swayze personified a particular kind of masculine grace both on and off screen, from his roles in films like “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost” to the way he carried himself in his long fight with pancreatic cancer. Swayze died from the illness on Monday in Los Angeles, his publicist said. 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,” Annett Wolf said in a statement Monday evening. She declined to give details. Fans of the actor were saddened to learn in March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from an especially deadly form of cancer. He continued 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. Swayze said he chose not to use painkillers while making “The Beast” because they would have taken the edge off his performance. The show drew a respectable 1.3 million viewers when the 13 episodes ran this year, but A&E said it reluctantly decided not to renew it for a second season.
