Star Trek’s Scotty Diagnosed With Alzheimer’s, Makes Last Public Appearance

This weekend, James Doohan, 84, who played U.S.S. Enterprise Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott (“Scotty”) on the 1966-1969 cult television series Star Trek, will make his last public appearance having acknowledged a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. Taking place at the Rennaissance Hollywood Hotel, all living members of the original Star Trek series will be on hand to give Doohan what will likely be his final send up.
