Jay Leno, 74, is preparing to step away from the spotlight while making significant personal and philanthropic plans.<\/p>\n
Known for his love of cars, Leno is arranging a major donation to a museum dedicated to automobiles.<\/p>\n
After retiring from late-night television, Leno launched the web series\u00a0Jay Leno\u2019s Garage<\/em>, which ran from 2015 to 2022.<\/p>\n The show shared his passion for cars and motorcycles with a global audience, earning over 3.7 million YouTube subscribers.<\/p>\n In November 2022, Leno suffered severe burns in a garage fire in Burbank, California, while working under a car, resulting in third-degree burns and the loss of part of his left ear.<\/p>\n Just two months later, he was injured in a motorcycle accident, breaking his collarbone, ribs, and kneecaps.<\/p>\n Despite these challenges, Leno\u2019s devotion to his wife, Mavis Leno, remains strong.<\/p>\n Married since 1980, the couple chose not to have children.<\/p>\n Mavis, now 77, is battling dementia, and in April 2024, a Los Angeles court granted Leno conservatorship over her inheritance due to her declining mental capacity.<\/p>\n Court documents indicate Mavis has gradually lost awareness of time, space, and even her husband.<\/p>\n Her neurologist, Dr. Cohen, notes that Leno continues to care for her with steadfast devotion, navigating her condition with patience and love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jay Leno, 74, is preparing to step away from the spotlight while making significant personal and philanthropic plans.
