Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert was showing signs of improvement Tuesday at Northwestern Memorial Hospital after an emergency operation over the weekend to repair complications from an earlier cancer surgery.
He remained in serious condition. His wife, Chaz Ebert, sent a note to an “Ebert & Roeper” show publicist that said: “I’m happy to report that Roger is in stable condition and is improving each day. He has an excellent medical team . . . and they’re optimistic about his recovery. We have every confidence in their abilities.”
