    Filmmaker Richard Glatzer, who co-directed “Still Alice” with his husband, Wash Westmoreland, died Tuesday in Los Angeles after a four-year battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. He was 63.

    His death was confirmed by the film's publicist, Ekta Farrar.

    Glatzer made four movies with Westmoreland, including “The Fluffer,” “Quinceañera” and “The Last of Robin Hood.” His experience with ALS informed the making of 2014’s “Still Alice,” an adaptation of a novel about a woman dealing with early onset Alzheimer’s. Julianne Moore won the lead actress Oscar this year for her work in the film.
