Eric Dane remains optimistic amid ALS diagnosis: 'I don't feel like this is the end of me'
Eric Dane remains optimistic amid ALS diagnosis: 'I don't feel like this is the end of me' Show Caption Hide Caption 'Grey's Anatomy' Eric Dane has been diagnosed with ALS ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a degenerative disorder that slowly results in the loss of the ability to walk, speak, swallow, and, ultimately, breathe independently. unbranded - Entertainment Despite his recent health struggles, Eric Dane is trying to look on the bright side. Two months after revealing he'd been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS, the "Grey's Anatomy" alum is set to open up about his life with the rare degenerative disease in an upcoming interview with Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America." "I wake up every day and I'm immediately reminded that this is happening," Dane, 52, tells Sawyer in a teaser clip published by the ABC talk show on June 12. Sawyer solemnly replies, "It's not a dream." ALS, commonly called Lou Gehrig's disease, is a nervous system disease that can impact the brain and spinal cord. Other stars who've battled ALS include late R&B singer Roberta Flack, world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, "SpongeBob SquarePants" creator Stephen Hillenburg and former U.S. Vice President Henry A. Wallace. Eric Dane reveals ALS diagnosis: What to know about the rare disease In his statement to People magazine revealing the diagnosis, Dane shared he planned on reprising his "Euphoria" role of Cal Jacobs for the HBO series' long-awaited third season. "I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working," he told the outlet. Per the National Institutes of Health, ALS progressively degrades, then kills nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. According to one of the most recent surveys published about the disease in 2017, there were between 18,000 and 31,000 cases of ALS in the United States. The preview of Dane's interview with Sawyer, which shows the actor visibly emotional at one point, also saw Dane offer an optimistic outlook on his health ordeal. "I don't think this is the end of my story," Dane says. "I don't feel like this is the end of me." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé It is not known what causes most cases of ALS, but some inherited factors have been found to cause familial ALS, which occurs when two or more people in a family have the disease. So far, a cure has not been identified for ALS. According to the ALS Society of Canada, potential early signs of the disease include tripping, dropping things, slurred or "thick" speech, difficulty swallowing, weight loss, decreased muscle tone, shortness of breath, increased or decreased reflexes and uncontrollable periods of laughing or crying. People with ALS generally live from three to five years after symptoms develop, according to the CDC. How long a person lives with ALS seems to be related to age; people who are younger when the illness starts live slightly longer. Dane's "Good Morning America" interview is slated to air on Monday, June 16 at 7 a.m ET. Contributing: Natalie Neysa Alund, USA TODAY

Cynthia Nixon Reveals Rosie O'Donnell Was Offered A Role In Every Season Of ‘And Just Like That…' Before Joining Season 3: 'I Think It Was A Good One'
It turns out that Rosie O'Donnell's surprising appearance on And Just Like That… Season 3 was a long time coming. During an appearance on The View, Cynthia Nixon revealed that Michael Patrick King – who serves as the And Just Like That… executive producer, show runner, and chief writer – had written a part for O'Donnell in every season of the spinoff series in the hopes of having her on the show. '[He] had written a part that he was hoping Rosie would do in each of the seasons and it's never worked out yet, but this one worked out. And I think it was a good one,' she explained on The View. She then teased their characters 'meet at a lesbian bar and fun ensues.' Sarah Jessica Parker also praised O'Donnell, adding, 'She was great at the table read. She was so great.' The comedian certainly made a splash in her Season 3 cameo. The season premiere, 'Outlook Good,' shows Miranda hooking up with Mary (O'Donnell) after meeting in a lesbian bar. But Miranda quickly comes to regret her decision after she learns more about Mary. Not only was this a one night stand, but it was actually Mary's first time having sex! On The View, Nixon later addressed why they chose to make her character, Miranda, queer in the spinoff series. 'Michael Patrick King and I had a super brief conversation, like a one-minute conversation,' she revealed. 'It was like, 'We really want the show to be more inclusive than it used to be. We're adding all these queer characters, would you like Miranda to be one?' And I was like, 'Sure why not.'' Nixon also credited the show for being 'so great at exploring' topics like this. 'It felt like a really natural fit. And it's just one thing that our show has always done so brilliantly,' she said. 'It has allowed us, first of all, to age, to not hide the fact that we're aging. But also to evolve and change.' The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
