Elderly or sick celebrities who have withdrawn from public view

Nicholson.

They’ve shut the door.

You Rang but I'm not answering.

handsome

Jack Nicholson Barbara Walters Joan Van Ark Joanne Woodward and Bob Barker...COME ON DOWN!

Joanne Woodward.

Baba Wawa, shitting in her diaper.

Gene Hackman.

....

I think Nicholson had a stroke or has dementia. When Kobe Bryant died he did a phone in to a news show and was slurring his words and not quite with it.

Gene Hackman was spotted in January.

Woah, ignore what I posted at r11, that's not true -- that was from 2018.

THIS is the 2022 Gene Hackman siting. He looks like Eli Wallach!

Tim Curry

I tried to retreat and hide, but as you can see, it's impossible.

Bob Newhart.

Valerie Perrine. Poor thing.

Betty White.

Helen Lawson.

Is Tim Curry ill?

Richard Simmons?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Linda Evans

I think Sophia Loren is on her way to completely withdrawing from view. Her appearances are becoming more and more rare.

Tina Turner

He had a major stroke a few years ago, r20.

Tim Curry still makes public appearances. He was at a convention just this summer.

Donna Mills, 81, is the oldest and looks the best. Michele Lee, 80, looks pretty good. Joan VA is a disaster at 79.

Yuno Huho.

Valerie Perrine looks fine for being 80 and having Parkinsons. I think she also has some other health issue, because I remember seeing photos of her at a convention not that long ago and she was wearing a brace. She's still appearing in interviews so she's not hiding away.

Glynis Johns.

Angela Lansbury

R32 You Bastard.

Yes...

Gene Hackman is unrecognizable. He has gotten so skinny.

Hopefully G will go into hiding very soon. Sadly, her twerking after losing her another Oscar will be the public’s last memory of her….. he he he he.

Robert Wagner

Agree with Barbara Walters (she used to be everywhere) Ethel Kennedy Bridget Bardot

Whatever is left of Celine Dion.

Prince Andrew. Although he doesn't know it yet.

Richard Simmons.

I don't blame celebrities wanting to withdraw from the spotlight.

Brendad

Somebody upthread posted Betty White. She died already, idiot.

Ann Blyth aka Veda Pierce is 94

Elke Sommer

I wish Madonna would.

Gina Lollobrigida

Bardot

Once the most handsome man in the world

Isabelle Aggiani hiding mental case

OMG, r43. Bless your lil heart.

I mean, just…well, just bless it is all.

R39 She's truly quite ill. Poor lady. I remember viewing the really short video she did about having to cancel her tour and it was soo heavily filtered and such that it broke my heart. Every trick in the book was used in the video. I'm linking to it.

Barbara Walters has dementia.

Kissinger

Jane Curtin

Jane Oliver

Richard Carpenter

Melanie Griffith

James Naughton

Yoko Ono

[quote] Kissinger

Au contraire.

Madonna

Isn’t this exactly what Bruce Willis announced via Demi recently?

Faye Dunaway seems to have gone quiet. Did being fired from the Boston play for slapping members of the crew cause her son to intervene?

And was the “little homosexual boy” lawsuit ever resolved?

Has anyone seen Ann-Margret lately?

Nicholson has very little time left, according to online gossip. He had another stroke at his home and his health has been declining for some time now.

I also hear the rumors circulating about Celine (which makes me sad). Terminal cancer.

At least her heart will go on.

Or maybe not.

[italic]Where’s Dorothy Faye ? ? ?

Diane Cannon. She and Nicholson used to sit courtside at Lakers games all the time.

Who’s Diane Cannon?

In Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, she was Alice.

Fedora...

Michael York who was in Fedora (^.^)

Yikes! Apologies, R65 and thanks for catching that. It should be DYAN Cannon at R64. Shame on me!

R69, Clearly it didn't bother R66!

Jack looking hot in 1971s Carnal Knowledge

Besides mentioning Kissinger, R54 is one big "WTF?".

Wait, Celine is ill? I did not know. Her children are still quite young, are they not?

It always feels like Joni Mitchell is right on the brink of dying and then somehow she resurrects herself every time.

Elkie looks like a man r45

R47 she’s running for a political office.

Is it just me, or does it seem more of a thing these days for celebrities to hide their terminal illnesses? Not so much the ones dying old like Betty White, but unexpected death at middle age.

David Bowie, Kelly Preston, Chadwick Boseman, Norm McDonald...I know I'm forgetting more. I don't remember this being common before, other than those who were hiding AIDS.

R73 for god’s sake she’s been nothing but skin and bones for several years.

Don’t confuse retirement with seclusion. Hackman retired from acting.

I like Nicholson all right, and wish him well, but I ADORE Gene Hackman!! Great, GREAT actor!!

I don't think he's ill, but we haven't seen much of Dustin Hoffman lately -

Has anyone seen ian mckellan lately?

R80 - Hoffman was hit with sexual misconduct allegations and is now working again. He is in As They Made Us and has been cast in Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis.

McKellen in 2021 played the title role in an age-blind production of Hamlet followed by the role of Firs in Chekov's The Cherry Orchard at the Theatre Royal, Windsor. He is in the film Infinitum: Subject Unknown (2021) and has 3 films in post-production.

Where is Mel Brooks? He's been largely AWOL since Carl Reiner died.

Shending out for shigsh now...

Terri Gibbs

The first year of the Baby Boom, turning 77 over the next year:

Cher, Dolly Parton, Goldie Hawn, Sally Field, Liza Minelli, Susan Sarandon, Diane Keaton, Sylvester Stallone, Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Donald Trump.

In three years, they will be entering their eighties.

Mel Brooks is due to make a public appearance this week.

R87 Diane Keaton’s gonna live to 95-100 I predict this now. Liza could die tomorow .

Tina Turner

Bette and Joan

Bruce Jenner

Sally Fields

Celine cancelled a bunch of shows, and she looks like death.

David Selby, Bobby Vinton, Bill Cosby

That queen Miss Robert Duvall.

Michael York surfaced 10 years ago for Cabaret’s 40th anniversary and looked deathly ill. Haven’t seen anything about him since.

Leif Garrett

His sister, Dawn "Dodi" Lynn

January news about Michael York.

Laura Flynn Boyle

I'm still hangin' around.

[quote]Elderly or sick celebrities who have withdrawn from public view

Just last week, I found Tori Spelling and some of her children hiding under my porch.

Sad about Michael York

I can’t believe Gene Gackman is 92 and last movie was in 2004. Love him in The Royal Tenenbaums in one of his last major roles from 2001. I didn’t know he quit acting

Bruce Willis

I forget Regis died sometimes

Teri Garr has been suffering from multiple sclerosis for years and hasn't been visible much. I saw a youtube video that said she'd been hospitalized earlier this year but couldn't find anything else online confirming that. The last interview I saw with her in 2017 was sad; she looked so tired and over it all. Terrible disease.

Camille Paglia

[quote]David Bowie, Kelly Preston, Chadwick Boseman, Norm McDonald...I know I'm forgetting more.

William Hurt.

But I don’t agree that it’s necessarily a recent thing.

Raúl Julia, Madeline Kahn, Gilda Radner (kept her relapse quiet).

Stella Stevens (alzheimer's)

Warren Beatty (early onset alzheimer's)

Susan Clark

Janet Suzman

Sarah Miles

Faye Dunaway

Bill Cosby has been totally blind for years. His massive ego prevents him from being seen with a cane.

Oh, no! How will he know which pills to put in which drinks? He’s liable to slip someone a baby aspirin by mistake.

When Cosby dies a bunch of women will be doing the "Thank You Very Much" number from Scrooge

R110, Warren Beatty’s 85. He doesn’t have “early-onset” Alzheimer’s.
