Still Alice director Richard Glatzer dies aged 63

The director and co-writer of the movie Still Alice has died at the age of 63.

Richard Glatzer, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2011, passed away on March 10.

His husband Wash Westmoreland said in a statement: "I am devastated.

"Rich was my soulmate, my collaborator, my best friend and my life.

"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."

Glatzer was too ill to attend this year's Oscars, which saw Julianne Moore win the Best Actress prize for her role in Still Alice.

The movie man has also worked on films such as The Last of Robin Hood and The Fluffer.
