The Dirty Dancing stunner

Confirmed by his publicist, Dirty Dancing heart-throb Patrick Swayze died at 57 after suffering complications from pancreatic cancer, to which he had been diagnosed and battled for months.

It can be recalled that the actor had once slammed tabloid reports that stated he was near death, which also led him to disclose his true health condition in public after trying to keep it a secret to his followers.

Swayze will be best remembered for his stellar performances in Dirty Dancing and Ghost — opposite Demi Moore.
