Elvis Presley and Halle Berry; What Do They Have in Common? Diabetes

Celebs in Hollywood, Past and Present: Who Hides Their Diabetes-Who Doesn't; This Sunday on dLifeTV

WESTPORT, Conn., Jan. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Halle Berry hardly discussed her diabetes for years. Elvis Presley kept it a secret. Mary Tyler Moore has it, and is an outspoken advocate for the cause. dLife Correspondent and Hollywood actor Jim Turner (Arli$$, Bewitched, and others) has type 1 diabetes himself. This Sunday on dLifeTV, Turner examines the 'dream factory' to reveal what Hollywood legends have revealed their diabetes, who has kept it a secret, and who lives with it today.

At a star-studded diabetes gala in California, Halle Berry stated that her disease was " ... a gift..." that " ... gave me the strength and toughness I needed for my life." From Oscar winners to Emmy winners, Elizabeth Taylor, Dick Clark, Victor Garber, and many more are discussed. The in-depth segment also features current TV Actor Sam McMurray (over 150 appearances including Friends, King of Queens and The Tracy Ullman Show) and Management Inc.'s Margarit Polak (one of Hollywood's top management firms), who explain what revealing diabetes could mean in a profession that is based just as much upon perception as it is on talent and good looks. What are the reasons to keep diabetes silent? Tune in Sunday to find out on another new episode of dLifeTV (on CNBC at 7:00 PM ET/6:00 PM CT/4:00 PM PT).
