The British press reports today that STAR TREK actor James Doohan is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. According to Sky News, the 84 year-old 'Scotty' star has also battled Parkinson's, diabetes, and lung fibrosis.
"With Jimmy it's the loss of words," his wife Wende revealed. "He is not so sick yet that he doesn't know people... What he had for breakfast might be an iffy thing, but golly he could tell you all about how he got the part in STAR TREK."
Doohan will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a ceremony in Los Angeles next month (story), joining all but Walter Koenig ('Chekov') from the original STAR TREK series to have received the honor.
