Actress Jennifer Grey, who appeared alongside Patrick Swayze in his star-making turn in 'Dirty Dancing,' remembers the late actor.
"Patrick was a rare and beautiful combination of raw masculinity and amazing grace," Jennifer recalled fondly in a statement to ET. "Gorgeous and strong, he was a real cowboy with a tender heart. 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. My heart goes out to his wife and childhood sweetheart, Lisa Niemi, to his mom, Patsy, and to the rest of their family."
