Gena Rowlands' portrayal of Allie in 'The Notebook' was emotionally charged, reflecting her personal connections to Alzheimer's, a journey she began with her mother's battle with the disease.
In discussing her role, Rowlands shared the importance of authenticity: 'I played a character who has Alzheimer's... if Nick hadn’t directed the film, I don't think I would have gone for it - it’s just too hard.'
