I have always enjoyed him.
Die Hard is a Christmas movie!
I hope he can still say “Yippee ki yay”
I loved his role in Pulp Fiction. I have enjoyed his work.
There are many dimensions to dementia, leading to different paths for different individuals.
I have known individuals whose dementia took years to degrade the mental faculties enough that the brain’s autonomous functions eventually failed the body. Mentally they failed early on but the body continued O.K. for many years. And I have known one individual whose dementia was not advanced at all for years, and then in 2-3 years took her life, with her regular body functions shutting down. Someday they may understand why the path of dementia is not the same for each individual affected by it, and when they understand that they may learn how to control it.
Very sad.
Being very fit while the brain is failing can be dangerous for caregivers. Dementia often brings periods of anger and agitation, and when the person is physically strong it can be tough to manage.
My grandmother developed dementia in her early sixties and, because she stayed active with walking and exercise, she was still strong for her age. She was a real handful for my mom at times. I can only imagine the challenges if someone as strong as Bruce became agitated.”
Ditto. 👍
My wife and I sat next to him at a restaurant in Santa Monica last year. He was with two caregivers/body guards. Everyone left him alone which we were grateful for. It was very sad in person then, can only imagine now.
Loved RED 1 and 2.
The last time we went shopping at Walmart, she was in her mobility chair and separated from me to go look around the store and became so disoriented that she couldn't find her way back. Eventually, one of the employees there noticed her sitting there and took her to the customer service section where they paged me (because, luckily, the ID tag that I made for the mobility chair on the last time we were on a cruise to England was still attached to the chair and showed my name). So, in the future, if she comes to the store with me, she'll have to remain with me and not cruise around the store as she always had in the past.
The hardest part, for me, is have to constantly remind her how to do simple things, like clean herself after urinating, taking her pills, and things that she does multiple times per day.
Horrible
Worked with him as a “featured extra” for 3 long days on DIE HARD 2 in 1990. On the last day, I was hanging out at Video Village to get a peek of the monitors for some of the takes. Not pushing my luck, I decided to get back to the actors’ corral, so I head down a thin path in the deep snow by the airport terminal. A tall dude in dirty clothes walked toward me and it was Willis. He stopped and stared at me with an intimidating look. I knew to step out of the path, into the snow, and let him pass. It wasn’t until later that I realized he stayed in character the entire shoot... So my encounter was actually with “John Mclane”. Somewhat surreal.
I loved him in Moonlighting.
And he scared the crap out of me in one episode of Miami Vice. Just one episode decades ago is unforgettable (to me).
It’s so sad this is happening to him; he’s one of the good guys.
Me too. I’ve been a fan going back to Moonlighting.
Prayers up ... I’ve read that good progress is being made with treatment improvements for this horrific disease with Ivermectin and FenBen.
Prayers for Bruce and his family.
She says a word supporting caregivers.
You ever been a caregiver for a terminal loved one? It’s every kind of weary,to the bone.
