Alan Alda, 89, Says Managing His Parkinson’s Is 'Almost a Full-Time Job' But 'Keeps Me Looking for the Funny'

Alan Alda shares a health update on managing his Parkinson's disease, which he was first diagnosed with in 2015.

Since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2015, the beloved M*A*S*H star and father of three — who also has face blindness, or prosopagnosia, which makes it difficult for him to recognize people — says life has been a never-ending series of puzzles. Alda recently made a scene-stealing cameo on Tina Fey’s Netflix series adaptation of his 1981 film The Four Seasons, which follows three pairs of couples as their relationships and friendships evolve over the course of a year. Tina Fey and Alan Alda attend a special screening of the 1981 original 'The Four Seasons' film at Paris Theater on April 27, 2025 in New York City.
