Danny Glover is still reeling from the shock of his disease. “I’m still not accepting in my mind all parts of it,” the 79-year-old said about his diagnosis during an interview with PEOPLE, before adding, “There are the moments that you keep remembering that validate the fact that you can remember stuff. And there are moments I’ll never forget.” His daughter, Mandisa, shared an update about what it is like to live with the award-winning actor.

Mandisa noticed the initial shift after Glover received the Oscars’ Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 2022. “The history of my dad is that he remembers every single thing back to 1970, what corner he was standing on, who he spoke to, what they spoke about, what color they were wearing, everything,” Mandisa told the outlet, before adding that the pieces of the stories would be missing when he told about his parents. “He’d tell you so much about his parents — and I’ve heard those stories over and over — and pieces were missing. There would be pieces of the story missing. I said, ‘I wonder what’s going on,’” she explained about the initial stage. However, these days he does remember his mother, who unfortunately passed away in a car accident in the 1980s. “Guess what my mother wanted to be? An actress,” he said to the outlet. Over the decades, Danny Glover left an indelible mark on Hollywood with films like ‘Places in the Heart,’ ‘The Color Purple,’ ‘Silverado,’ and many more.
