Patrick Swayze Bio and Wiki
Patrick Swayze was born in Houston on August 18, 1952. He started acting and dancing at quite an early age. His father was also in a show business you can say, performing as a champion rodeo cowboy. His mother owned a ballet studio.
“Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost,” were some of the biggest hits that Patrick Swayze starred in but soon after he suffered several career setbacks, including a battle with alcohol.
Attributing some of his problems with drinking to his sudden fame and the Hollywood lifestyle, he moved back to Texas with wife Lisa Niemi but worked in such films as “The Green Dragon” and “Donnie Darko,” both in 2001.

Patrick Swayze was a great man. He will be sadly missed. My heart goes out to his family and friends. I was in shock when I found out he’d passed on, and I still am. I am crying as I write this. My dad told me that morning when I’d just got out of bed, and it’s hard for it to sink in. God Bless, Patrick, you’ve got a special place in my heart and life. I love you.
