life changing.

The Critic

Film critic Gene Siskel died last
Saturday from complications due to
the removal of a growth from his
brain. An intensely private man, Siskel
did not share the details of his illness
with the public. Instead, he persevered
almost to the end, announcing just
shortly before his death that he was
taking time off to recuperate.
Those who saw him speak at
Hadassah's opening meeting in
September could discern he was ill,
but he exhibited considerable grace
and humor. His subject: the portrayal
of Jews in the movies. Siskel, tired of
Jews being portrayed as "a joke" in
film, wanted to see real Jews, "like you
and me," on the big screen. He urged
filmmakers — especially Jewish film-
makers — to take up that challenge.
A devoted husband and father,
Siskel was accompanied by his wife,
Marlene, and spoke proudly of his 90-
year-old mother, a Hadassah member
for more than 60 years.
He called to apologize when he could-
n't make an interview with The Jewish
News and graciously spoke to us after his
talk, sharing that during his college years
he used to play ping pong every day with
George Pataki, never dreaming his col-
lege friend would one day become —\
the governor of New York.
A graduate of Yale in philos-
ophy, Siskel remarked that a
professor told him he shouldn't
worry about making money but
just do what he loved.
Siskel loved movies,
and for more than 30
years he provided
movie lovers every-
where with hon-
est, penetrating
and thought-
provoking film
criticism.
In this
month's issue
of Geode, the
magazine asked
Siskel and Roger
Ebert to reply to
its "If I Were
President"
questionnaire.
