This doesn't look good.


Patrick Swayze, the dancer and star of such hit films as "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost," has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, published reports said on Wednesday.

Swayze, 55, was diagnosed with cancer more than a month ago, the New York Post reported on its Web site, citing a representative for the actor.

The Post story follows similar reports in the tabloid press. Swayze's spokeswoman declined to comment to Reuters. No further details were available.

Swayze, 55, is best known for his role as dance instructor Johnny Castle opposite Jennifer Grey's character, infatuated teenager Frances "Baby" Houseman, in the 1987 movie musical "Dirty Dancing."



Pancreatic cancer is the worst. Low survival rates, short time from diagnosis to death.

Bummer.

Road House is one of the greatest movies ever made.

Fox News is giving him five weeks to live, of course.

CNN (/People) says per his doctor that all reports giving a timeframe are untrue.
