March 10, 2015: Co-director of the critically acclaimed 2014 film, Still Alice, Richard Glatzer passed away at the age of 63. He had been suffering through a long battle with ALS, and died just weeks after Julianne Moore picked up a Best Actress Oscar for her work in his film.

Diagnosed in 2011, Glatzer continued to work with his husband, Wash Westmoreland, in adapting Lisa Genova's novel for the screen. He was due to be honored by the ALS Association in April.

Westmoreland said in a statement, "Thank you to everyone for this huge outpouring of love. Richard was a unique guy — opinionated, funny, caring, gregarious, generous and so, so smart. A true artist and a brilliant man. I treasure every day of the short 20 years we had together.

I cannot believe he has gone. But in my heart and the hearts of those who loved him, he will always be alive.”
