Since the 20/20 Special "Patrick Swayze: The Truth" with Barbara Walters aired on Wednesday, January 7, 2009 fans are curious to find out more about Patrick Swayze and his wife, especially their early years together.
With today's huge divorce rate it's no wonder people are fascinated by this couple who call themselves "soulmates" and their lengthy 36 year relationship. Most married couples don't even last five years, especially in Hollywood. But Swayze and his wife Linda Niemi have been happily married for 33 years and counting, and the two are still very much in love.
Linda Niemi was only sixteen when she met Patrick at his mother's dance studio. 20 year-old Swayze and 16 year-old Niemi were as passionate about dancing as they were each other and even filmed a dance movie together called "One Last Dance."
Patrick Swayze has not let his pancreatic cancer slow him down. He's spent the last year filming his new television series "The Beast." Although he is now in hospital after coming down with pneumonia, the actor is doing alright. With his amazingly positive attitude there's no doubt he'll keep fighting the cancer and keep living life with the passion that makes him so unique and lovable.
Here's a clip of Patrick Swayze and his wife Linda Niemi dancing together in 1994:
