The entertainment industry was rocked today when it was discovered Roger Ebert had died. According to PEOPLE magazine, he reportedly died at the age of 70 following a loss of battle with cancer. His wife of 20 years, Chaz, spoke to the mag about the loss of her iconic movie critic husband Ebert himself.
He fought a courageous fight. I’ve lost the love of my life and the world has lost a visionary and a creative and generous spirit who touched so many people all over the world,” she said. “We had a lovely, lovely life together, more beautiful and epic than a movie. It had its highs and the lows, but was always experienced with good humor, grace and a deep abiding love for each other.”
