Linda Ronstadt has a medical condition that prevents her from singing properly.
Selma Blair has a medical condition that hinders her acting. I forget what both of them have but it has curtailed their career. smh. It's sad...

As I'm getting older, I have become much more appreciative about health. If you are healthy, you've got it all. Or darn near close to it. In my mom's bldg, there's a resident that will be 92 in July. She can still live independently and able to walk and take the stairs totally unaided. She is blessed. Not that if you're unhealthy, you're not. Just sayin.

And you hear about 87 year old marathon runners. Woah.

I'd forgotten what Linda Ronstadt has, so I had to look it up (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy,,,,but until that diagnosis, for 6 years they thought she had Parkinson's), but I remembered that Selma Blair has Multiple Sclerosis.

I think someone needs to look into why Bruce Willis was still working. There are reports out there that his cognitive decline was already noticeable. One director had to be convinced to work with him again this year because of what he was like last year. This director was told he was fine, but he said Willis was actually worse this year. somebody seemed to keep wanting to put him in these movies, but should have stopped him. Reading between the lines, I believe the family had a come to Jesus meeting with Bruce and his handlers and told them no more. I cannot fathom what it is like to have what Bruce Willis has, but somebody needed to step in sooner than they did. I'm not blaming the family. I think they did the right thing. I think it as the people that worked "for" Willis who did not want their good thing ending anytime soon.

I think you might be looking for nefarious things where they do not exist.


If I had to guess.. The person responsible for the bold.. Was likely Bruce himself.


My opinion only.. But oftentimes, especially with cognitive difficulties.. The person experiencing them is the last to realize it. Or realize how bad it has become.

Also, he probably wanted to earn as much as he could, re security for his family, before he'd have to stop

You can imagine how those residuals and your own net worth would cover yourself of someone similar to you, but you don't know how much his wife Emma spends and if the residuals plus the income thrown off from his current net worth ( of $100 million +) for the 40 plus additional years of Emma's life would be enough.

It sucks but he will be taken care of. I wonder why he kept acting given his condition. He could have just retired. All his kids will be ok. He could put a trust fund for 20 million for 5 kids and still have 100 mil left over.

I wonder why he kept at it too, was it him or his people that depend on him for their paycheck? We may never know until one of his kids writes a tell all...

It will probably be written by Rumor
