Roger Ebert |
Roger Ebert, a Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic who reached celebrity status in the 1980s and '90s hosting popular syndicated film review programs, has died. He was 70 years old.
Since 2002, Ebert endured several bouts with cancer, resulting in invasive surgeries that left him severely debilitated.
"We were getting ready to go home today for hospice care, when he looked at us, smiled, and passed away," said his wife, Chaz Ebert, in a written statement. "No struggle, no pain, just a quiet, dignified transition."
