James Garner is recovering at home after suffering a minor stroke.
The 80-year-old, who is best known for his roles in TV shows Maverick and The Rockford Files, was admitted to an LA hospital last month after falling ill.
He underwent an operation and was kept in intensive care for three weeks, reports the National Enquirer.
A source revealed that Garner is now regaining his speech, saying: "He's pulling through, but he has a long recovery ahead of him. But he's improved steadily.
"Jim will definitely need intensive physical and speech therapy. Fortunately, he's a fighter - and his wife Lois has been at his side."
The actor's publicist Jennifer Allen said: "His improvement is wonderful."
Garner received a lifetime achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild in 2004.
