Swayze to write autobiography

Patrick Swayze hopes to write his memoirs with the collaboration of his wife, Lisa, the actor’s publicist said today.

Jayme Phillips said plans for the book are “extremely premature”.

“There’s no publisher. There’s no dates. There’s no anything else.”

Swayze, who has been battling pancreatic cancer for the last year, spent a week in hospital earlier this month after contracting pneumonia.

The 56-year-old actor, who stars in the new A&E drama 'The Beast', is best known for his roles in the films 'Dirty Dancing' and 'Ghost'.
