Tim Conway, a hit for years on “The Carol Burnett Show” with his deadpan comic style, is suffering from dementia at 84 and is “almost entirely unresponsive,” according to legal documents filed Friday in Los Angeles by his daughter, according to Roger Neal, Conway’s publicist.
People and The Blast were first to obtain the documents, which show that Kelly Conway, 56, is seeking to be appointed her father’s legal guardian. She wants to block her father’s wife, Charlene, from moving him from one nursing facility to another.
In the documents, she claims that her stepmother is “planning to move him out of the excellent skilled nursing facility he is currently at” and placing him in one that won’t give him access
Goodman guessing he’s ‘mopey’ widower in ‘Roseanne’ spinoff
John Goodman is speculating that this fall’s “Roseanne” spinoff will mean curtains for the matriarch played by Roseanne Barr. In an interview with the Sunday Times of London, Goodman said he wasn’t sure how the new series, titled “The Conners,” will be structured. But he guessed that his character will be “mopey and sad” because his wife has died.
Goodman played husband Dan Conner to Barr’s character on ABC’s original “Roseanne” and last season’s revival. The network fired Barr after she posted a racist tweet, which she apologized for but has said was misinterpreted.
Goodman said he’s certain Barr isn’t a racist.
