Australian James Bond George Lazenby Battles Dementia

George Lazenby, the Australian actor who famously portrayed James Bond in 'On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,' has been diagnosed with dementia, as revealed by his ex-wife, Wimbledon champion Pam Shriver. Despite their turbulent relationship and divorce in 2011, Shriver has taken on the role of caregiver for Lazenby as he enters the later stages of his life. She describes him as a softer version of himself, maintaining his classic charm even while facing health challenges. Lazenby was recently seen in Los Angeles appearing frail and relying on a walker, accompanied by a nursing aide. The couple's relationship improved significantly after years of estrangement, particularly following a close call during the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, which underscored the urgency of his care. Shriver emphasized that their experience shows that relationships can recover and evolve, even in difficult circumstances.
