Bruce Willis ‘Not Totally Verbal’ Amid Dementia Battle, ‘Moonlighting’ Creator Says

“Moonlighting” creator Glenn Gordon Caron has shared an update on Bruce Willis’ health this week, telling the New York Post that the actor is “not totally verbal” amid his battle with frontotemporal dementia.Caron, a friend of the 68-year-old actor, explained that Willis still knows who he is during his visits but noted some changes to him.“My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am,” he said.“[Willis] used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now. All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he’s still Bruce.”He continued: “When you’re with him, you know that he’s Bruce, and you’re grateful that he’s there, but the joie de vivre is gone.”Caron said he’s talked with him and the actor’s wife, Emma Heming...

Bruce Willis’ Wife Has Heart-Wrenching Response When Asked If He Understands His Diagnosis

Emma Heming Willis, the wife of actor Bruce Willis, gave an update on her husband’s health in an emotional interview on Monday.The “Die Hard” actor was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, and the family revealed this year that Willis also has frontotemporal dementia.“Dementia is hard,” Heming Willis said during an appearance on the “Today” show with Hoda Kotb. “It’s hard on the person diagnosed, it’s also hard on the family. And that is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. And when they say that this is a family disease, it really is.”Heming Willis began to get emotional as she said it was both “the blessing and the curse” to finally figure out her husband’s diagnoses.“It doesn’t make it any less painful, but just being in the acceptance and just being in the know of what is happe...

A Departure from Reality, by Viet Thanh Nguyen

If a quiet library with towering walls of books and hushed patrons and my own leather armchair is my vision of eternal bliss, this refrigerator is, if not Hell, then a purgatory with tiled floors, brightly lit hallways, bland meals under plastic covers, incapacitated patients, the constant bustle of nurses, therapists, visitors, the buzz of televisions.I have never seen anyonereading a book inthis purgatory.Most of the staff, clad in nursing scrubs or polo shirts and chinos, are Filipinas. American colonization in the Philippines created this route for nurses to come to the United States, while draining the Philippines of its own medical professionals and depriving the children left behind of their mothers, exported to take care of others around the world.Where is the televised dramatic c...

Air pollution may be to blame for thousands of dementia cases each year, researchers say

Nearly 188,000 dementia cases in the U.S. each year may have been caused by air pollution, researchers estimate, with bad air quality from wildfires and agriculture showing the strongest links to a person's risk of Alzheimer's disease and other kinds of dementia later in life. Published Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open, the new estimates are the latest to underscore the range of health risks scientists have long warned are being driven by air pollution. While studies have already linked overall bad air quality to a number of health problems, including the risk of developing dementia, the new study offers a finer-grained look at how specific causes of air pollution seem to be more strongly linked to dementia than others.  Their findings were based...

Tony Bennett left his heart to generations of music fans

NEW YORK -- What do Paul McCartney, Queen Latifah, Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder have in common?Oh, and Aretha Franklin, k.d. lang, Bono and Billy Joel. Not to mention Carrie Underwood, Judy Garland, John Legend and Placido Domingo. And let's not forget...Stop. Listing all of the musicians who performed duets with Tony Bennett would take up our remaining space. His place in music history is already secure.Bennett, who died at 95 on Friday, was indeed “the last of the great saloon singers of the mid-20th century,” as Charles J. Gans wrote for The Associated Press. Yet that summation befits a man frozen in time, consigned to a specific era, and Tony Bennett was anything but that.Instead, Bennett transcended generations in a way few musicians have.He was rightly beloved by older listeners for ...
