‘Still Alice’ director Richard Glatzer dead at 63
'I am devastated. Richard was my soulmate, my collaborator, my life,' says Wash Westmoreland, Glatzer's husband and 'Still Alice' co-director

LOS ANGELES, USA – Richard Glatzer, the co-director and co-writer of Still Alice, for which Julianne Moore won a best actress Oscar in February, died Wednesday, March 11, aged 63 of ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Wash Westmoreland, the film’s co-director and his husband, tweeted:

 

“In this dark time, I take some consolation in the fact that he got to see ‘Still Alice’ go out into the world. He put his heart and soul into that film and the fact that it touched so many people was a constant joy to him.”

Moore, 54, who stars as a linguistics professor with early-onset Alzheimer’s in Still Alice won her latest Academy Award February 22, another high point in her career spanning a quarter-century.

ALS is a progressive degenerative nervous system disease that weakens muscles and physical functioning. – Rappler.com
