Years ago, when I still watched television, I saw more than one episode of "Touched By An Angel." Muhammad Ali turned up as a guest on one such episode; they put him in the story narrative somehow or other. But the man could not SPEAK. Literally could not speak. He stood there in front of the camera with the other actors, and one of the angels, Della Reese no less, would listen to his non-verbal, unintelligible murmurings, very soft and low; then she would go through the motions of "interpretation" with his "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" verses. It was all supposed to be very reverential or something. I remember wondering sadly if he had remembered to take his medications. That memory is creepy.
