Roger Joseph Ebert was the all-time best-known, most successful movie critic
in cinema history, when one thinks of his establishing a rapport with
both serious cineastes and the movie-going public and reaching more
movie fans via television and print than any other critic. He became the first and only movie critic to win a Pulitzer Prize (it would be 28
years before another film critic, Stephen Hunter, would win
journalism's top tchotchke). His opinions
likely were relied on by more movie-goers than any other critic in
cinema history, making Roger Ebert the gold standard for film
criticism.
Ebert was born in Urbana, Illinois, to Annabel (Stumm), a bookkeeper, and Walter Harry Ebert, an electrician. He was married to
Chaz Ebert. Roger Ebert died on April 4, 2013, in Chicago, Illinois.
