Patrick Swayze was a rare and beautiful combination of raw masculinity and amazing grace. The
Ghost and Dirty Dancing star died Sept. 14 at 57 after a 20-month fight with pancreatic cancer.
"Swayze was fearless and insisted on always doing his own stunts, so it was not surprising to me
that the war he waged on his cancer was so courageous and dignified," Jennifer Grey said of her Dirty
Dancing co-star.

Fighter. Philosopher. Dancer. Lover. Swayze was all that and a guy with a great sense of humor and
earnest approach to his craft. Swayze left behind a moving account of his battle and life in a book
and an audio tape biography.
