The actor who played Scotty in TV's Star Trek has Alzheimer's disease.

James Doohan, 84, also has Parkinson's disease, diabetes, lung fibrosis and suffered a bout of pneumonia.


His Wife Wende,47, said: "With Jimmy it's the loss of words. He is not so sick yet that he doesn't know people.

"And there are times when he is as sharp as a tack. But it's the older memories that stick.

"What he had for breakfast might be an iffy thing, but golly he could tell you all about how he got the part in Star Trek."

Jimmy's character was told on the US Enterprise: "Beam Me Up Scotty."

A tribute to the actor is to take place in Hollywood next month.

He was very pleasant to the fans at the old conventions I attended in NY in the 70s.

"Beam me up, Scotty" was never used in Star Trek, was it?

Wasn't it always, "Beam me up, Mr. Scott"?

A Last Hurrah For Scotty[/u]

Wonder if he'll be there?

"Beam me up, Scotty" was indeed said by Kirk and others in several episodes and in the follow-on movies, as were the variations "Scotty, beam me up", "Beam us up, Scotty", and "Scotty, beam us up". The "Mr. Scott" versions of the foregoing also were liberally sprinkled throughout the series and the movies. Frequently, Transporter problems would be encountered, and the next Away-Party-to-Enterprise communication was usually something along the lines of "Now, Scotty, NOW!".

For those who care, there are literally hundreds of StarTrek and StarTrek-related newsgroups on UseNet
