The Medical Condition Jane Fonda's Ex-Husband Ted Turner Lives With

In 2018, Ted Turner shared on “CBS Sunday Morning” that he had been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, which is the progressive brain disorder that actor Robin Williams was found to have following his death. “It’s a mild case of what people have as Alzheimer’s. It’s similar to that. But not nearly as bad. Alzheimer’s is fatal. Thank goodness I don’t have that,” Turner stated in his interview while failing to remember the name of his condition. He said his main symptoms were tiredness, exhaustion, and forgetfulness.

Since his diagnosis, Turner has advocated for those living with Lewy body syndrome. In 2022, his daughter, Laura Turner Seydel, stated (via CNN), “Robin’s death was not in vain. Ted’s disease is not in vain because he has made it one of his priorities to help so many others that have this disease and may not even know it.”

Although Turner stepped down from the media world in 2006, many CNN employees from all around the world joined together to pay homage to the network’s founder, and it didn’t go unnoticed by the business mogul.
