A Self-Portrait Of Alzheimer's

IWU's Wakeley Gallery is currently showing an exhibition of self-portraits revealing the ravages of Alzheimer's disease on an artist who, despite the devastating diagnosis, never stopped creating.

Reporter, content producer and former All Things Considered host, Laura Kennedy is a native of the Midwest who occasionally affects an English accent just for the heck of it. Related to two U.S. presidents, Kennedy appalled her family by going into show business.
