In October, it was revealed that Bruce is now "not totally verbal" due to his dementia. Glenn Gordon Caron, a film creator who worked with Bruce in the 80s, told Page Six : "My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am. He's not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader - he didn't want anyone to know that - and he's not reading now.
"All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he's still Bruce." He added: "When you're with him you know that he's Bruce and you're grateful that he's there, but the joie de vivre is gone."
