Esquire Profiles Thyroid Cancer Survivor and Film Critic, Roger Ebert

By , About.com GuideFebruary 16, 2010

Follow me on:

You'll be giving four stars and two thumbs up to a compelling and loving profile that Chris Jones of Esquire magazine has written about film critic Roger Ebert, who has lost his jaw, along with his ability to eat and speak, to thyroid cancer. "Roger Ebert: The Essential Man" is an incredible look at the talented Ebert, and how he has come to terms with his ongoing battle with cancer, a battle that has left him, while unable to speak, with a more powerful voice than ever before. Read the Esquire profile now.

You may also want to read Ebert's own account of his life without eating or speaking which was featured at his blog.
