Charles De Gaulle 484 Posted July 19, 2022 85 year old comic actress Ruth Buzzi has suffered a series of strokes. Initially she sounded like a goner but updates have her as still being able to speak and respond to others. Good punt for 2023 should she see the year out. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superstar 295 Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Ruth Buzzi, Barbara Feldon, Joanne Worley, and Pamela Austin, are some of the few people left from season one. All of them are in their eighties, which is a bit worrying because I'm a big fan of Laugh-In.

Sean 6,315 Posted September 16, 2022 On Kent Perkins Facebook ( Ruth's husband) he has announced that Ruth was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 10 years ago, has lost 40 pounds recently, and isn't getting enough nourishment even with supplements. She has also lost the use of her legs completely, tires easily and is under nursing care at home, and suffered a seizure the other day when being taken to her balcony. Doesn't sound imminent yet but if she makes or to 2023 she is a must-have name for the list. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps 1,423 Posted March 31, 2023 I don’t think she‘s in any position to be posting on social media on her own. She’s definitely got someone to do it on her behalf. This doesn’t look like a woman that seems capable of tweeting and facebooking herself: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,518 Posted July 24 88th birthday today and somehow still alive. If this is a new photo, then she looks really good for someone who we all thought had days to live two years ago: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
