Kristen Stewart and Julianne Moore play mother and daughter in film ‘Still Alice’ on location in Manhattan this week.

The movie about a professor who discovers she’s suffering from an early onset of Alzheimer’s disease, also stars Alec Baldwin and Kate Bosworth.

Maria Shriver, a long- time advocate for families struggling with Alzheimer’s is one of the executive producers.

Shriver’s father, Sargent, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2003. Since that time, Shriver has been deeply involved in raising awareness and funding for Alzheimer care and research.
