Who is Lisa Niemi? You might not know the name Lisa Niemi, but you probably know the name Patrick Swayze. Lisa is the widow of Mr. Swayze, and Oprah gets to be the first real interview with her after his death from pancreatic cancer. There will probably be tears, if not by her then by hundreds of housewives, and if I were to watch it, I’d probably weep a little, too.
