Patrick Swayze
18 August 1952 - 14 September 2009
Actor
A dancer turned actor, Swayze enjoyed enormous success with the nostalgic romance Dirty Dancing (1987) and spiritual love story Ghost (1990). Equally adept at more rugged roles, he clearly enjoyed subverting audience expectations with films including Point Break (1991), To Wong Foo (1995), Donnie Darko (2001) and Keeping Mum (2005).
