This permanent A list mostly movie actress is old. She has always been a piece of work her entire life, but she is suffering from early Alzheimer's and people are taking advantage of her because of it.
Having personally been involved with a project with Ms Dunaway in the 90’s and anyone who has ever met her will attest, her recent behavior is her norm, and no surprise to anyone. Using a medical diagnosis as an excuse is insulting to the medical diagnosis.
Not old, but Sharon Stone gave an interview and spoke about alzheimer's in an article a month ago about her stroke. Probably her. I'm aware of it from elderly family members, but it can strike down people in their 50's. And dementia can be brought on from strokes, and mini strokes called TMI's. Having a stroke as a young person cuts your life expectancy by a third. Drug abuse is raising that stat these days. And past middle age, having a stroke, and surviving, isn't like a heart attack, it's a message that the end is closer than you think. And if you have alzheimer's and or dementia, it's not so bad considering what's coming. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
"Permanent A mostly movie", this could be anything from Barbra Streisand to Meryl Streep to Jane Fonda to Lily Tomlin to Diane Keaton to Goldie Hawn... Or someone younger, such as Diane Lane, Julia Roberts, Julianne Moore, Nicole Kidman, Sigourney Weaver, or Sandy Bullock. Alzheimers can most definitely begin in your fifties.
Betty White? Only name that springs to mind.
ReplyDeleteFay Dunaway.
ReplyDeleteFaye Dunaway - she has been in the news lately for "bad' behavior.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't really "early" alzheimers since she is 78
ReplyDeleteI guess you meant Stage 1 and not "early onset"...
Jane Fonda?
ReplyDeleteBetty White Faye D
ReplyDeleteRose McGowan

ReplyDelete@ Tatty, actually amy klobachar combed her hair with a fork, on a plane.
ReplyDeleteShirley MacClaine???
ReplyDeleteCloris Leachman ?
ReplyDeleteBette Midler? She keeps sticking her foot in her mouth publicly.
ReplyDeleteLiza Minelli?
ReplyDelete@LaurenMaye: You got it backwards: Amy ate a salad with a comb. š
ReplyDeleteOh, and it was Cardi B who brushed her hair with a fork.
ReplyDeleteFaye Dunaway would be my guess. She's seemed "off" for a very long time now.
ReplyDeleteJane Fonda is very OK. Just worked with her. She's a true pro.
ReplyDeleteIt was like Debra winger or someone from that generation.. dark hair, kinda ratty 80s look

Kathleen Turner?
ReplyDeleteJD - I don't know who the blind is either but it's someone difficult to work with; Betty White is known for being easy to work with.
ReplyDeleteWell, Bobcat Goldthwait told a story in which he said Betty made a snarky comment at him for goofing on his lines.
But overall her peers like her.
No, it’s Faye dunaway, like an earlier commenter said. There are multiple articles. She’s now being sued over her behavior.
ReplyDeleteIf she's ill, can she really be responsible?
ReplyDeleteIt says:
ReplyDelete"Early Alzheimer's".
Betty White is 97 years of age.
Is that early for anything??
Daryls - early could mean, early stages, not early life.
