As the 35th anniversary of the iconic film "Dirty Dancing" approaches this weekend, Patrick Swayze’s widow paid tribute to the late actor. "When Patrick was still alive, he would always say, 'I’m on my second generation of fans' ...
He'd get approached by young ladies who weren't even born when the movie came out," Niemi told Entertainment Tonight. Niemi was married to Swayze from 1975 until he died in 2009 at the age of 57 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Swayze’s widow described her late husband as "one of a kind" and said she still feels his presence nearly 13 years later. Patrick Swayze’s widow, Lisa Niemi, paid tribute to the late actor.

"I feel like he's with me every day, but, of course, it'd be nice to have him physically in the room," she added. "But, I tell you what, we had a great ride, and there's so much to be grateful for." "Dirty Dancing" was released in August 1987, and Niemi spoke about Swayze’s iconic scene during which he lifts actress Jennifer Grey, who played "Baby," over his head.
