Yesterday, we mentioned Ronald Reagan and his family at Alzheimer’s Notes.  When they went public with his condition, it couldn’t have been easy for them.  However, they have helped so many people, in an area that was unrelated to his presidency, governorship, and acting career.  They reached out to others.  Hopefully it brought the Reagans comfort.  I know it helped me as I d...

Liz Lewis, my co-blogger here at Alzheimer’s Notes, provided videos of his life and his battle in her post, Charlton Heston and Alzheimer’s Disease. Jean Murray, blogging at Small Business Bloggers, posted her thoughts on Charlton and paid tribute in Charlton Heston and Alzheimer’s - A Terrible Way to Die. Do you have any thoughts on this?

In 2002 he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. At Softpedia News a story described Heston's final stages. A close friend is quoted as saying toward the end of life Heston was "way beyond the point of slight memory loss and forgetfulness...can barely communicate...can no longer carry out daily activities like eating or walking...The tragic thing is when he breaks down and cries for no reason."It is hard to believe the cruel changes that Alzheimer's causes. If you or someone you know is coping with Alzheimer's or is an Alzheimer's caregiver you can find out how to get help and support at a variety of websites, including OurAlzheimers.com,...

I can still remember as a small child seeing that famous chariot race. The film itself, Ben Hur, has not other wise passed the test of time. Too long, too slow and far too mawkishly “holier than thou”. The chariot race, however, has stood the test of time and is as good as ever. Always remember, there were no computer graphics then. People were killed filming that race.*Charlton Heston did not pass the test of time either. In his declining years he allowed himself to become an effete figurehead for the National Rifle Association (NRA)Charlton Heston and the NRAThere is a British National Rifle Assciation too, founded in 1859, but their mission statement is to “promote target shooting throughout the United Kingdom” and not, like the...

The Young Doctors was one of these series. It starred Drs. Landon and Burke, residents in surgery and psychiatry (respectively), at Metro Hospital. There is no love lost between the two residents and they often come to blows, but when a crisis occurs they always pull together and help each other. Apparently they are the only two residents in the entire hospital because they are the only two we ever see (there was an intern, Tom Brent, but he graduated to his own series and was rarely seen in The Young Doctors after that). Because these weren’t licensed properties, the writers faced fewer restrictions and could...
