Terry Jones of Monty Python has been diagnosed with dementia. Britain's Film Academy is set to honor Jones's contribution to film and television. In a statement announcing the award, the academy says that Jones has a progressive aphasia, and his ability to use language is in decline. He is unable to give interviews. Jones directed the Python films "Life of Brian" and "The Meaning of Life," and co-directed 'The Holy Grail' with Terry Gilliam. He is 74 years old.
