ALAN ALDA – 85 YEARS OLD

Fans may best remember Alan Alada as Hawkeye Pierce in the war TV series, M*A*S*H. He is an award-winning actor who has bagged six Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award back then. Aside from M*A*S*H, he also has a lot of recurring roles on different TV programs, like The West Wing and 30 Rock, and appearing in various films from the 1970s until today. His latest movie credit was the Noah Baumbach movie, Marriage Story. With a career spanning over six decades, Alda has made a lot of contributions to the industry.

Hence, it only fits that he received the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award last year. However, in Louis C.K.’s movie, Horace and Pete, he gained critical praise. He took a keen interest in both science and cosmology and enjoyed discussing the latest developments in science and technology with scholars. On July 31, 2018, he appeared on CBS This morning to announce that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease three years ago.
