Title: Ken in poor health
Post by: Iain Fisher on May 01, 2011, 12:23:21 AM
Ken had a stroke a couple of weeks ago.  He seems to be very frail now.

Best wishes to him.

A quick update.  He made it to The Devils showing in a wheelchair (Murray Melvin from tons of his films pushing the wheelchair) to the steps then was helped down VERY slowly a few steps to his seat.  He was asked some questions but gave very short answers (often after a pause simply yes or no) and at one time forgot who he was talking about.

He is frail but seemed very happy to be there.  And he was loved by the audience.

Thanks for the update Iain.  I wish Ken and his family all the best.
