Patrick Swayze Dies at 57


It seems that over the last few months we have said good bye to one too many of our childhood stars. First Farrah, the Charlies Angel who touched all our hearts with her tribute to her son, the love of her life and her friends with her candid documentary about her struggle with cancer.
Then Michael Jackson. A music legend who struggled with fame and was constantly in the spotlight or scrutinized or stalked by the tabloid media. Jackson died at the age of 50 and was laid to rest earlier this month.
However, today, we say good bye to yet another legend. Patrick Swayze who swept American teenage girls in the 80s off their feet with Dirty Dancing, and who spellbound audiences as he played in Ghost. Swayze, the current star of A&E's new series The Beast, passed away at the age of 57 after his 20 month long battle with Pancreatic cancer.
He was surrounded by family and friends according to his publicist Annett Wolf. Our thoughts are with the Swayze family and friends. For this and other information please go to www.foxnews.com, www.cnn.com, www.msnbc.com.
