Lisa Dillon Slams Patrick Stewart's 'Shameful' Memoir

Actress Lisa Dillon has spoken out about the pain caused by Patrick Stewart's memoir, "Make It So," following his recent passing on October 28, 2026. Stewart, who died after a battle with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia, described his five-year relationship with Dillon, which occurred while he was married to his second wife, Wendy Neuss, as a "silly affair."

Dillon, who was nearly four decades younger than Stewart, expressed feeling "upset, angry and betrayed" by his characterization. She recounted that Stewart had moved from Los Angeles to be with her in England, and their relationship was a significant period in her life. His memoir, however, shattered her perception of their enduring friendship and his respect for her.

She found it "shameful" that Stewart's account diminished their nearly five-year relationship, particularly after she had spent 20 years fielding negative remarks about it. Dillon felt he had edited her out of his life, impacting her both professionally and personally. Stewart's memoir also touched upon his regrets regarding his two failed marriages and described his affair with Dillon as short-lived, similar to a past relationship.
