Great anechdote, too. <br /><br />I think Roger Ebert's writing got even better over time, and the candidness with which he faced his illness and decline, but also how he wrote about his love for Chaz, made for some gripping reading. I'll miss him too.samael7https://www.blogger.com/profile/13307706556252825261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-39909788166515493762013-04-05T19:02:28.856-04:002013-04-05T19:02:28.856-04:00That Rex Reed bit is priceless...

And thanks for the Beyond The Valley of the Dolls shoutout. Ebert was publicly reviled for years for writing that "disgusting" screenplay, but there were a few of us who realized it was genius from the get-go.

I'd rather have Roger Ebert around, though, because even when we disagreed, I understood his reasons. I learned so much from that man. I'm really going to miss him.Diane Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272277573129141852noreply@blogger.com
