Iconic items from actor Patrick Swayze's career will go up for auction later this month.
Swayze, known for his roles in "Dirty Dancing," "Ghost," "Red Dawn" and "Point Break," died from pancreatic cancer in 2009. He was 57. Since then, his widow, Lisa Niemi, has championed for pancreatic cancer awareness, serving as an ambassador for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, according to The Albuquerque Journal.
