Speaking with People, she shared that the disease has already affected his mental cognition.
"I think he's aware sometimes and then sometimes not," Danny Glover's daughter Mandisa told the outlet. At times, he appears more aware than others.
Meanwhile, Glover has shared his own thoughts of his diagnosis and how it has affected him.
But there are also times when he speaks lucidly. "I'm still not accepting in my mind all parts of it," the Lethal Weapon star said. "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."
'Lethal Weapon' Star Talks Diagnosis
His daughter says that she first noticed a shift a few years ago after the Oscars.
"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," she says. "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.'"
These days, Glover's younger brother Marty lives with the Lethal Weapon star and helps look out for him.
His brother explained, "He's the greatest guy I ever met in my life. He saved me. I've been to jails, institutions, used drugs. Growing up, we weren't close until I started getting into trouble. And then he came and got me out and moved me down to Hollywood, and we've been inseparable ever since."
It has been hard for Marty to see his brother affected by the disease.
"You see the deterioration, and you think, 'Wow,'" he says. "Sometimes you get emotional about it. It's tough, because you don't want to see nobody go through this."
