Patrick Swayze has died after a nearly two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. Swayze's publicist Annett Wolf says the 57-year-old "Dirty Dancing" actor died Monday with family at his side. He came forward about his illness last spring, but continued working as he underwent treatments. It was 1987 when Swayze became a star with his performance in "Dirty Dancing," a coming-of-age story set in a Catskills resort. The 1990 film "Ghost" cemented his status as a screen favorite.
Swayze played a murdered man trying to communicate with his fiancee through a spirit played by Whoopi Goldberg.

Dalton: All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And three,
be nice.
Dalton: If somebody gets in your face and calls you a c^&&^!&+r, I want you to
be nice. Ask him to walk.
Be nice. If he won't walk, walk him. But
be nice. If you can't walk him, one of the others will help you, and you'll both
be nice. I want you to remember that it's a job. It's nothing personal.
Dalton: I want you to be nice until it's time to not
be nice.

Not all ballet dancers are mincing flamers. Pat fought it for two years. Wish his family the best.

Patrick was one the few who didn't mix politics and his craft.
Godspeed Mr. Swayze.
