Catonsville Resident Receives Emmy for Film

Catonsville resident David Wasser received an Emmy for his role in the documentary "To Not Fade Away," which follows a 45-year-old woman as she struggles with Alzheimer's disease.

The documentary aired on Redefine Life TV, a network that shows programming geared towards baby boomers and seniors. It is a follow-up to a previous Emmy-award winning documentary on Marie Vitale, five years after her initial diagnosis.

The documentary also explores research around the disease, as well as the stories of other well-known Americans who have it such as college basketball coach Pat Summitt and country music star Glen Campbell.

Wasser, who moved to Catonsville in 2007, is the film's executive producer. He accepted the Emmy at the regional Emmy award ceremony at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. on June 16.

He has also produced films and shows on polio, Hispanics in America and other health topics.
