Duh! No one is immune from it. In fact I find it incredibly interesting that the majority of people that the caregivers in my caregivers support group over the years have been caring for with dementia have been highly educated doctors, lawyers, psychiatrist's, business owners and the like. Dementia does not discriminate.
I saw the news cast about Bruce. He lived 10 miles North of me. He is not from Penns Grove but Carney's point which is right next door. He went to PennsGrove highschool.
It really doesn't matter what you do for a living or how intelligent you are, you can contract Dementia. Just talking to my cousin yesterday about his Mom. She had Dementia and no one in the family had had it. Maybe a sister but she was 98 when she passed and it was only the last few months of her life. 2 siblings died at 75, 2 at 87, 2 at 98. His Mom had no health problems other than blood pressure and RA. Never needed cholesterol meds and never did estrogen therapy. Never smoked. Not a drinker. So why her.
It is sad knowing how much Glen Campbell suffered.
He was a wonderful guitarist and even influenced rockers. I remember hearing an interview with Alice Cooper where he said how talented Campbell was. Eddie Van Halen took lessons from Campbell.
I'm glad Tony Bennett's final performance with Gaga went well, because that Glen Campbell documentary is painful to watch. He performed far longer than he should have and stumbled on lyrics, didn't remember he'd just finished a song and would start it again -- dreadful. His kids were in his band to assist him, but it didn't work for long.
I like to think his family had good intentions making that documentary in order to remember their husband and father, but in some ways it struck me as just one last way to milk some money out of his legacy. It showed him at his absolute lowest, which is something none of us want out there for the world to see.
Nor singers; witness Tony Bennett. Nor Presidents. Witness Mr. Reagan. This touches all, even those we never hear about. Some of those who have early diagnosis come forward to tell us about it.
Need - Tony Bennett is still alive as far as I can see. He was an amazing performer. I know he was an artist too. Lady Gaga has been so kind to him. Not movie stars but performers. Neil Diamond has Parkinson's and Alan Alda. Love them both. So sad.
I saw Charleton Heston many years ago at Taddish Grill in San Francisco. He was eating lunch. This crazy fan followed him to the bathroom for an autograph! LOL 😆 He wasn’t happy and told her no.
He’s not a movie star but he’s famous. I had his Black Sabbath albums as a teenager, Ozzy Osbourne. He has Parkinson’s disease.
Golden,
Tony Bennett was really interesting. He was suffering from dementia but when he went out on stage he could still perform. He was a fantastic artist as well, beautiful paintings!
A glimpse of hope. Many people who have Parkinson's Disease eventually develop dementia. Michael J. Fox has had PD for 30 years and has been fighting a good fight. His doctor told him in 1991 that he had about 10 years left to work. He continued to act for 30 years until the end of 2021.
Lots of celebrities have had it, including Jimmy Stewart, Rosa Parks, Charleton Heston, and of course, Ronald Reagan, to name a few. Our current senator from California, Dianne Feinstein, clearly has it, too. 😣
There's a documentary about Glenn Campbell's last days with Alzheimers called "I'll Be Me." It's heartbreaking to see his decline.

I watched Tony Bennett’s performance with GaGa. It was great! He did so many duets. I love him! He never lost his singing voice.
Mom’s favorite was Sinatra and I love his early music but he lost it as he aged, Bennett didn’t.
I remember seeing where Jack Hanna had dementia. He was always funny on Johnny Carson showing his animals.
He is still alive as far as I know.
