American actor Robert Vaughn is still worried about the health of his daughter after she was stuck down with a mystery illness last year (03).

THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. star, 71, and his wife LINDA had to cut short their holiday in Scotland when CAITLIN suffered stroke-like symptoms at her Washington D.C. home - but the family are no nearer to discovering exactly what happened to the 22-year-old.

Vaughn says, "The day before we were due to leave, my daughter took what we thought was a stroke. She woke up in the morning and found she couldn't talk or walk. She managed to get herself on the phone and alert a friend to come over.

"The following morning she was even worse and that's when she went to hospital. The medics just didn't know what was wrong with her. They gave her CAT and MRI scans, but they had no idea what the problem was. It was incredibly distressing. We really didn't know what was going to happen.

"We weren't sure if we were having to come home for a funeral or whether she was going to make it. The flight home was terrible.

"They've had no answers for us. In the end we were left wondering if it could happen again, and when, and at what cost?"
