Roger Ebert

Hey does anyone know if Roger Ebert had a stroke or something? He talks out of the side of his mouth and that side of his face is kind of droopy.

More likely Bell's Palsy. Paralysis of the facial nerve but no other areas affected. It's usually reversible (mine came back about 95%, it's only noticeable to me), but not always. But a stroke is also a possibility, but usually more areas on that side would have been involved.

I see. Yes, that's a possibility, I appreciate that. I was just wondering if anyone knew for sure.

Any guy who worked with Kitten Navidad is still a god.
He was a writer for Russ Myers.

Thanks for providing useless information and not answering the questions. Much appreciated.

FYI: Roger Ebert did suffer through thyroid cancer a while back. That or the treatment for it may be the cause (but I am not a medical expert).

Could be -- depends on how the surgery went and how far advanced it was -- (not a doc either but speaking from personal experience...)
