In a message dated 5/10/99 3:12:59 AM Pacific Daylight Time, [log in to unmask] writes Did anyone else see Mohamed Ali on Touched by an Angel last night? Yes!! I did and it brought me to tears--both in response to the excellent-even-tho-tear-jerking-show, and the pitiful sight of Mohammed, especially in contrast to his former powerful, vibrant self, which was alluded to in the show. I saw Mohammed up close, in person a few weeks ago at the Beverly Hills art exhibit for and by PWP's and he looked much like he did last night--although he looked worse last night. For those of you who did not see him, he was shuffling, bent over forward,with a fixed mask on his face, and a major tremor in his right, moving very slowly, and her could barely talk. In short, he looked like he was having a bad off period, or had not taken any med--which is rumored to be his practice (or, non-practice), or his medsd had failed. In any case.his presencce --both on the show and at the art exhibit--is very poignant, and the obvious physical struggle and discomfort that he must endure--publicly--every time he makes one of these appearances makes me feel enormously grateful to him as a PWP.
