The Life of Legendary MASH* Actor Alan Alda

In 2018 and 2019, Alda appeared on The Good Fight. The role kept him visible in prestige television at the same time he was speaking publicly about living with Parkinson’s disease.

His continued work mattered because it showed that the diagnosis had not ended his career. Alda was adapting, staying active, and choosing projects that fit this stage of his life, while audiences watched him carry that openness into his later years.
