"The Carol Burnett Show" Alum Tim Conway Suffering from Dementia

Tim Conway is battling dementia. The 84-year-old "Carol Burnett Show" star’s daughter Kelly is asking to be appointed conservator of her father and be in charge of his medical treatments, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE and first reported by The Blast.

Kelly, 56, filed the documents in Los Angeles on Friday, claiming Conway’s wife Charlene is “planning to move him out of the excellent skilled nursing facility he is currently at” and place him in one that won’t give him access to “registered nurses at all times and his 24-hour caregiver and speech therapist (to help with swallowing).”

Kelly also states that Conway cannot “properly provide for his personal needs for physical health, food, and clothing” and is “almost entirely unresponsive.”

She hopes to be granted guardianship so she can also administer her father’s medications herself.

I put this on the Other TV Shows because although he was on McHale's Navy, he was more popular on The Carol Burnett Show and he made his start on Ghoulardi in Cleveland which starred Ernest Earle "Ernie" Anderson and Charles "Big Chuck" Schdowski. This isn't good...
