listfriends: Fresh off Earl Ubell's piece in Parade magazine last month, and the fabulous NBC-Dateline piece on Parkinson's surgery at Emory just last week, we have a third major media item coming up. It's in the forthcoming edition of People magazine, and it covers the disclosure of a celebrity--younger than 40 years of age--who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's and is going public. They're keeping the identity of the person VERY close to the chest but since the story seems to be coming out of the magazine's Los Angeles bureau, you can draw your own conclusions about the industry in which he/she is involved. Stay tuned! Footnote: People appears on some newsstands Thursday; the rest, Friday. Robin Elliott, Executive Director, Parkinson's Disease Foundation
