Just a few celebrities who have been stricken with Alzheimer's disease --

Dana Andrews
Arlene Francis
Edmund O'Brien
Maurice Ravel
Rita Hayworth

Hayworth's daughter is the president of Alzheimer's Disease International, an organization devoted to raising awareness of this devastating disease and its effects on families.

I'm pretty sure Jack Lord (aka McGarrett) was stricken with Alzheimer's as well. He was a very private man, and when he died in 1998 it was called 'congestive heart failure', but it's pretty much assumed he had Alzheimer's.

May want to add Ronald Reagan to that list.
