...guessing, 30 years. But in late April he did show up, resolute and cheerful, at the Roger Ebert Overlooked Film Festival - yes, he also runs his own Ebertfest, or uberfest - at his alma mater, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, flanked by his brilliant, loving attorney-wife Chaz Hammelsmith and surrounded by a thousand well-wishers. His appearance had changed, but, he wrote on his website, "I still have my brain and my typing fingers...
...producer who carried a sachel of dollars coins with him and would summon waiters at the Majestic Bar in Cannes with a shouted "Irving!" Another was, is, Dusty Cohl, the cowboy-hatted Canadian lawyer who helped found the Toronto Film Festival. Roger became close friends of Dusty and his wife Joan; and when they launched the Floating Film Festival (nonstop movies and movie talk on a cruise ship), Roger eagerly signed on as a presenter.

It was good advice, and I was smart enough to take it. And to pay it forward to my friends." It's hard to believe, but Willis honestly seems cool even when...
MANY KNEW HER AS the elegant wife and ministry partner of preacher Billy Graham, but Ruth Graham originally planned never to marry --the better to be able to follow in her father's footsteps as a missionary in Asia. At Wheaton College in Illinois, she fell in love with Graham. As her Southern Baptist husband's most trusted adviser, Ruth charmed world leaders and celebrities, grounded Billy when politics tempted him (once kicking him under the table after Lyndon Johnson asked his advice on a running mate), remained a steadfast Presbyterian despite pressure from Billy's powerful friends and wrote...
