Roger Ebert Dies at 70
Roger Ebert — a legend — has died. He was 70 years old. Just yesterday, Ebert announced that his cancer had returned and that in order to deal with radiation treatments, he was going to dial down his production. But minutes ago, the Chicago Sun-Times tweeted “It is with a heavy heart we report that legendary film critic Roger Ebert (@ebertchicago) has passed away.”
Ebert had been a contributor to the Sun-Times since 1967. He wrote 15 books and in 1975, became the first film critic to win a Pulitzer Prize for Criticism.
