"Still Alice" explores living with younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease
|
"Still Alice," which features an award-winning performance by actress Julianne Moore, isn’t the first movie to address Alzheimer’s. But the film is poised to attract attention because Alice, a baby boomer, isn’t elderly when she develops the disease. Approximately 200,000 Americans have younger-onset Alzheimer’s.
