"Dirty Dancing" actor Patrick Swayze dies of pancreatic cancer at the age of 57.
"Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months," his publicist, Annett Wolf, said in a statement released Monday evening.
Watch the Barbara Walters Special "Patrick Swayze: Last Dance" Tuesday at 10 pm ET.
Patrick Swayze's wife Lisa told ABC News' Barbara Walters that she and his brother Donny Swayze, were by his side when he died at his ranch on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
Swayze, best known for starring in the blockbuster films "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost," was diagnosed with cancer in January 2008, but outlived the prognosis of just several months he received.
His "Dirty Dancing" co-star, Jennifer Gray, said Swayze "was a rare and beautiful combination of raw masculinity and amazing grace."
"Gorgeous and strong, he was a real cowboy with a tender heart," she said after learning of his death. "He 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.
"When I think of him, I think of being in his arms when we were kids, dancing, practicing the lift in the freezing lake, having a blast doing this tiny little movie we thought no one would ever see," she said.
His last television interview was in December 2008 with ABC News' Barbara Walters.
RIP Patrick Swayze

Patrick was a great actor, had great movies and played a very good role in North and South, and a lot of people will miss him. My wife was a fan of him since she was 12 years old, fan for more then 20 years now....so it was really sad news i had to tell her this morning. We have good memories from Patrick.
RIP Patrick Swayze
RIP Patrick Swayze
1991-1992-1993
Touring for two years was more than my body could take.You're there and your head tells you that you have to go on,
but your body is close to giving out. Five to six days a week,
i was on stage for about two and a half hours every night.
Doing that for over two years, my larynx didn't feel great,
it felt like my vocal cords were just falling apart

Its dark. People are screaming and yelling. Firebombs are exploding. Adrenaline is flowing. Chaos ensues. Where am I? A Metallica show!!!!
