Scotty has Alzheimer’s disease

JAMES DOOHAN, the actor who played Scotty in the 60s Star Trek TV series and in films, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, his agent confirmed.

He said Doohan is in the beginning stages of the disease, a progressive neurological disorder that afflicted former President Ronald Reagan, who died on June 5.
