Ted Turner Recovers from Pneumonia in Rehab

Ted Turner, the 86-year-old founder of CNN, is recovering from a mild case of pneumonia after being hospitalized, with expectations for a full recovery as he undergoes rehabilitation in Florida. A spokesperson confirmed that despite his ongoing battle with Lewy Body dementia, which he was diagnosed with in 2018, Turner remains resilient and engaged in various endeavors. Lewy Body dementia is a progressive brain disease affecting cognition and movement, and it is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's. Turner's family has noted his active involvement in philanthropy and personal interests, including his ranch in Montana. His health challenges come as he continues to be recognized for his significant contributions to media and philanthropy, despite a decrease in his wealth following the Time Warner-AOL merger. Ted Turner is also known for his marriage to actress Jane Fonda, which ended in 2001.
