AS Patrick Swayze battled advanced pancreatic cancer, the star, who rose to fame with such movies as Dirty Dancing, Roadhouse and Ghost, tried to be positive. "I keep my heart and my soul and my spirit open to miracles," he told Barbara Walters in January 2009. But, the Texas native allowed, he was done with experimental treatments, tired of spending "so much time chasing staying alive."

As Whoopi Goldberg, an Oscar winner for her role as a medium communicating with Patrick's dearly departed character, has said, "I believe in Ghost's message, so he'll always be near."
