The American actor Kurt Vogel Russell began his acting career at just twelve years old in a western television series. Throughout his career, he has achieved great success, including a notable performance in Mike Nichols’ *Silkwood* which led to a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 1983.
Hailing from Springfield, Massachusetts, Kurt comes from a family with a strong artistic background. His father, Bing Russell, was also an actor, and his mother, Louise Julia Russell, was a professional ballerina.
Recently, concerning reports have emerged regarding Kurt’s well-being.
As reported by *The Globe*, a 65-year-old actor, famous for his role in *The Hateful Eight*, is said to be in a serious battle with a severe flesh-eating illness. It is stated that Kurt has developed unattractive sores beneath his lower lip, possibly related to Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS)—a genetic disorder linked to a higher likelihood of developing cancer, particularly colon cancer. Some estimates indicate that individuals with PJS may have a cancer risk of as high as 93% over their lifetime.
Although not directly treating Kurt, Dr. Stuart Fischer cautioned that these sores could be early signs of cancer that might progress rapidly if not dealt with promptly.
Another specialist, Dr. Gabe Mirkin, an immunologist based in Maryland, concurs that urgent medical examinations are necessary for Kurt, with suspicions pointing towards PJS as the potential cause. Stressing the importance of prompt treatment, he underlined the critical nature of the situation.
Adding to the apprehension are speculations of strained relations between Kurt and his longtime partner, Goldie Hawn. Additionally, Kurt was scheduled for induction into the Hall of Great Western Performers in Oklahoma City in October. Despite already having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he had to delay his appearance due to an unexpected medical issue.
Kurt has revealed in a public statement that he must undergo surgery, an essential procedure that cannot be postponed. The surgery needed is a hip replacement, a recommendation his doctors had originally made for September. Despite his desire to delay it, Kurt expressed gratitude that the museum chose to delay his tribute until 2022 so he can receive it in person.
Our thoughts are with Kurt Russell as he gets ready for surgery, and we eagerly anticipate his honored recognition at the Hall of Great Western Performers next year.
His impact on the film industry is highly acclaimed, and we wish for his quick healing. With his name already honored on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it is appropriate for Kurt Russell to also be included in Oklahoma City’s esteemed Hall. Supporters around the world are eagerly anticipating Kurt’s prompt recovery.
