Still Alice director Richard Glatzer dies

Richard Glatzer, who co-wrote and directed the Alzheimer’s drama Still Alice alongside his husband Wash Westmoreland while battling motor neurone disease, has died at the age of 63.

Diagnosed in 2011 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), the pair took on the project of Still Alice at a very early stage of Glatzer’s disease.
