"Everything about him (Swayze) impresses me: his courage, his humour. There's something very valiant about him... He's a fighter," Contactmusic quoted Barbara, as telling TV Guide magazine.

The two old friends met up at Swayze's ranch outside Los Angeles, where Walters first interviewed Swayze for a TV special eight years ago.

The exclusive interview will air in America on January 7. (ANI)
