Huntington’s disease is a genetic disorder in which brain cells begin to degenerate over time.
After moving back to New York, Guthrie continued to compose songs and kept involved in the folk scene.
Guthrie remained at that facility until 1961, coinciding with the beginning of the period portrayed inA Complete Unknown.
After his time there,WoodyGuthrie was transferred to Brooklyn State Hospital and lived there until 1966.
Sadly, like Guthrie himself, two of his children have also passed away from Huntington’s.
