Star Trek's Scotty has Alzheimer's

From The Scotsman:(heh...how appropriate)
The actor who played Scotty in the original Star Trek TV series and films has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

James M Doohan, 84, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s "within the last couple months" and is in the early stages of the disease, his agent Steven Stevens said.

Doohan has also suffered for some time from Parkinson’s disease, diabetes and fibrosis, the latter due to chemical exposure during the Second World War when he was a soldier in the Canadian military.

Mr Stevens said he last saw Doohan in January in Los Angeles when the actor made a cameo appearance in the upcoming horror film Skinwalker: Curse of the Shaman.

"He didn’t have any energy and he seemed very frail. But as soon as they yelled ‘action’, he was the same old feisty Scotty," said Mr Stevens, who has represented Doohan for 28 years.

Doohan’s career spans more than 50 years, but he’s best known for his role as the USS Enterprise’s affable chief engineer, Lt Cmdr Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, in the original 1966-69 Star Trek TV series

and subsequent Star Trek movies.
