Film critic Roger Ebert’s wife reported he was doing well after an emergency operation in Chicago to repair complications from a previous cancer surgery.
Ebert, a film critic at the Chicago Sun-Times since 1967 but better known for his “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” critiques on television, was in serious but stable condition Monday.
Ebert, 64, had surgery June 16 to remove a cancerous growth on his salivary gland. About 8 p.m. Saturday, a blood vessel burst near the site of the operation, the Sun-Times reported.
