Patrick Swayze, an iconic actor known for his good looks, charm, and talent on screen, rose to fame in the 80s and 90s with hit movies like “Dirty Dancing,” “Ghost,” and “Road House.” Despite his success, Swayze faced challenges such as his battle with alcohol addiction, which damaged his relationship with his wife, Lisa Niemi.
