Trouble Remembering Simple Things

August 16, 2017 Blind Gossip

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] It is not an exaggeration to say that this man is a film legend. He has starred or co-starred in dozens of films.

He is slowing down.

Most days he seems sharp, but other days he has trouble remembering very simple things like the names of people he’s known for thirty or forty years or where the drinking glasses are kept in the kitchen. He does have a doctor treating him. There are still people begging him to do projects with them, but I don’t know how much longer he can keep working.

    Donald Sutherland
    Co starred in DIrty Dozen and he is still working on lots of projects

    Clint Eastwood? He’s 87 and directing a movie now. Kudos to him, but you know he can’t work like he did 20 years ago.

  3. reddie says

    August 18, 2017 at 3:46 am

    Steve Martin

    Clue is “dozens” Steve was in Cheaper by the Dozen

  4. hallucinex says

    August 17, 2017 at 2:23 pm

    I’m guessing Harrison Ford. He was in the movie Regarding Henry where his character gets shot in the head and cannot remember anything. First time poster! Hello!

  5. Flopsy55 says

    August 17, 2017 at 1:06 pm

    What about Arnold Schwarzenegger? A clue could be the word “exaggeration” which is similar to his last name. He’s 70 and I’m sure he used steroids in the past, which could be affecting his brain now.

  6. PrettyVacant1 says

    August 17, 2017 at 12:40 pm

    Shot in the dark – Billy Crystal?

  7. divingwahine says

    August 17, 2017 at 12:39 pm

    I’m going with Clint Eastwood on this one. Hint: Dozens = Dirty Dozen

  8. hotel57 says

    August 17, 2017 at 10:40 am

    Everyone is going with Jack Nicholson but I’m going with Anthony Hopkins.

    Clue: Legends (of the fall)

    He should enjoy his time now and not worry about making more movies. He’s done a great, great job and will always be loved.

  9. Carigirl says

    August 17, 2017 at 10:38 am

    I hate that this is either De Niro, Pacino or Freeman… Possibly all three. Relax! It’s OK to take a break. All have had wonderful careers and deserve to relax.

  10. Belser says

    August 17, 2017 at 10:07 am

    Bruce Willis.

  11. StacyC says

    August 17, 2017 at 8:37 am

    Or, Donald Sutherland. (Dirty Dozen) Eastwood wasn’t in it. (oops)

  12. StacyC says

    August 17, 2017 at 8:35 am

    I’m really surprised no one has mention Clint Eastwood. Clue Dozens=Dirty Dozen

    • StacyC says

      August 17, 2017 at 8:38 am

      oops Eastwood not in that.

  13. lily0182 says

    August 17, 2017 at 8:22 am

    He is already wheelchair bound & retired following a serious stroke. This is not him.

  14. lily0182 says

    August 17, 2017 at 8:20 am

    Clint Eastwood

    [Optional] Should he keep working or completely step away from the business? Whomever it is, step away. It’s just a job and as much as this person has obv already worked, they don’t need the money. Time to rest.

  15. aaagspr says

    August 17, 2017 at 7:47 am

    I don’t know who this is, but someone declining like this makes me feel sad.

    Optional: if he wants to, and the people around him want to, let him work.

    • aaagspr says

      August 17, 2017 at 7:56 am

      I should add that I am sad because I think this sounds like it is Alzheimer’s or related, not because of aging.

  16. TanLouB says

    August 17, 2017 at 6:47 am

    Anthony Hopkins

  17. Redneck says

    August 17, 2017 at 6:21 am

    Robert DeNiro

  18. LC1216 says

    August 17, 2017 at 6:20 am

    Actor: Jack Nicholson

    Yes he should keep working. It keeps you going.

  19. JipJip says

    August 17, 2017 at 4:51 am

    Harrison Ford

  20. kittymyers says

    August 17, 2017 at 3:59 am

    The only one who comes to mind is Jack Nicholson.

  21. janique_le_pique says

    August 17, 2017 at 3:08 am

    Anthony Hopkins. He has done enough and should step out of the spotlight to age gracefully.

  22. pflower says

    August 17, 2017 at 1:35 am

    Harrison Ford

  23. CaptainSashquatch says

    August 17, 2017 at 1:34 am

    Gene Hackman

  24. gonegirl81 says

    August 17, 2017 at 1:17 am

    Oh and he may as well keep working

  25. gonegirl81 says

    August 17, 2017 at 1:17 am

    Is this Anthony Hopkins? (‘Legends’ of the Fall. Also the graphic reminds me of Dr Lecter). It’s a shame but that’s old age.

  26. Bamadex says

    August 17, 2017 at 12:04 am

    Harrison Ford.

    First he should step away from the cockpit od any airplane. And yes, just retire quietly.

  27. gracecarp says

    August 16, 2017 at 11:52 pm

    Steve Martin? “dozens”

  28. sabrina325 says

    August 16, 2017 at 11:30 pm

    Harrison Ford?

  29. GretaGuesses says

    August 16, 2017 at 10:51 pm

    I think this is Jack Nicholson.

    He should do whatever he is comfortable doing. My mom has Alzheimer’s, and we try encouraging her to do as much as she can. Sadly, she’s at the stage where she doesn’t always recognize her family. ?

  30. Bethilda says

    August 16, 2017 at 10:40 pm

    Jack Nicholson

  31. CanaryCry says

  32. Blossom says

    August 16, 2017 at 10:02 pm

    Burt Reynolds

  33. amulbunny says

    August 16, 2017 at 9:43 pm

    Jack Nicholson or Harrison Ford?
    Haven’t seen much of Jack so I don’t know if people are clamoring at his door to make movies, though.
    Harrison has been rumored to have some memory problems. After he landed on the taxiway at SNA, there were comments.

  34. jrgius says

    August 16, 2017 at 9:25 pm

    Jack Nicholson.

  35. LaBellaVida says

    August 16, 2017 at 9:16 pm

    Harrison Ford

    I hope he keeps working until he no longer wants to.

  36. isleparadise says

    Harrison Ford

    Step away while your dignity is intact.

  53. gossipzillaisback says

    August 16, 2017 at 5:16 pm

    For some reason, this makes me think of Harrison Ford.
    I think “slowing down” is a clue, but I can’t figure out who it’s pointing to.

    Optional: I think he should keep working if he wants to. Staying engaged is crucial in fighting Alzheimer and dementia.

  54. JHntr113 says

    August 16, 2017 at 5:08 pm

    Harrison Ford.

    Retire, he earned it. Memorizing lines of hard to do with dementia setting in.

  55. bxckground says

    August 16, 2017 at 4:54 pm

    Morgan Freeman??? i hope its not him tho. i love him too much.

  56. Raoul Duke says

    August 16, 2017 at 4:37 pm

    Harrison Ford or possibly Burt Reynolds. Though Burt has stepped down so Harrison it is.

  57. annabelle77 says

    August 16, 2017 at 4:31 pm

    Harrison Ford.

  58. mary55geelong says

    August 16, 2017 at 4:14 pm

    Harrison Ford.

    Time to fade away gracefully, and hand in the pilot licence.

  59. january13 says

    August 16, 2017 at 4:09 pm

    Optional: not sure who this is but it’s very very sad. I have a loved one with dementia & seeing the deterioration that some people face is awful. It’s also very frustrating for them. I think if he is capable & wants to keep working great. But if it is just too much he or his loved ones should do what’s best for him.

  72. Goodgrief says

    Harrison Ford is the only one I can think of. He doesn’t seem all that sharp in piloting an airplane anyway.

  73. FoxyLoxy says

    August 16, 2017 at 3:07 pm

    Gonna guess Harrison Ford
    I think it’s think for him to retire and enjoy life…most of all stop flying!!

  74. silence1534 says

    Step away and enjoy retirement.

    Keep working

  76. javelina says

    Jack Nicholson

  77. amagod121 says

    August 16, 2017 at 2:58 pm

    I am gonna say Al Pacino because the picture you show reminds me of Grey’s Anatomy and he starred as Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Plus I think you mentioned him having trouble with his memory from before.

    I think he should keep working for as long as he can. Once you give up, that’s it, game over. Hopefully he can still get bit parts if full time roles are too challenging.

  78. dberlcri says

    August 16, 2017 at 2:52 pm

    Harrison Ford?

  79. celebiddy says

    Step away, slow down

  80. Kingofboggle says

    August 16, 2017 at 2:47 pm

    Gotta be Harrison Ford. The incident with the airplane. And in interviews these days he always seems like he’s right on the verge of not knowing where he is. Take care of him Calista. He’s a national treasure.

    • amagod121 says

      August 17, 2017 at 7:37 pm

      That is so sad! I think that last accident, where he crashed and hurt his head, probably led to this. 🙁

  81. buttersmom says

    Harrison Ford

  82. Baileygirl says

    August 16, 2017 at 2:47 pm

    Jack Nicholson. There was an article a few years back that said he had retired from acting due to an inability to memorize his lines. He should stay retired and enjoy his golden years. I wish him the best as he is a national treasure in the arts.

    • jj the great says

      August 17, 2017 at 1:33 pm

      Well said; Couldn’t agree more. And whoever it is, I hope they stay in retirement (or retire), or only do the occasional cameo or guest spot acting or helping out in some other way (if being on set brings them happiness). Really though, It’s best to get on a schedule and be around very familiar people who care about you. Anyway, seeing as it’s someone who’s gifted us with entertainment over the years, I really wish him well.

    Should retire gracefully

  85. KCeagle says

    August 16, 2017 at 2:37 pm

    Harrison Ford or Jack Nickolson?

    Rather than embarras himself or watch his own star dim, the screen legend should step away and focus on retaining and improving his cognitive skills and functioning. Surround himself with supportive family members and friends who keep him alert and grounded before his health deteriorates irreparably.

    Robert De Niro also has huge memory problems for 15 years.
