NEW YORK, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy who nearly died last October when mauled by one of the tigers in their Las Vegas act, says he misses show business.
"Roy is very open about missing his show and missing the audience and missing that interaction," said Maria Shriver, who interviewed Horn for the first time since the accident for "Siegfried & Roy: The Miracle," an NBC special airing Wednesday.
Horn was mauled by Montecore, a 380-pound trained tiger, which grabbed his neck and dragged him offstage, shocking a sold-out crowd at the Mirage hotel-casino.
"I think he looks terrific," Shriver said. "Is he the same Roy as he was a year ago? Absolutely not. But in his mind he's a better Roy."
What surprised Shriver the most, she told the New Hork Daily News, was Horn's sense of optimism.
"It is stunning and miraculous that he is up and talking and dreaming and planning and working toward a new future today," she said.
