Estelle has been living with what was believed to be Parkinson's disease for more than ten years. Her doctors have now diagnosed her condition as Lewy Body Dementia. Each day presents a different struggle for her. Three main symptoms of Lewy Body Dementia are:
1. Fluctuating alertness and/or cognition
2. Recurrent visual hallucinations
3. Parkinson's Disease symptoms.
She is both appreciative of and strengthened by all the support and concern of her loving fans. Be assured, Estelle has the best care available.

I just checked and IMDB said she is still alive and 83. I don't know how
up to date it is. According to some other material she has Parkinson's.
She lives in a nursing home. What a rotten disease.
I want to say thank you to the Canuck below me. He put up a website on
Estelle Getty. I just checked it. Lewy Body Disease is horrible. A friend of
ours had that. Fellow Canuck?? I live in Ontario.
