Surrounded by family and friends, ABC's beaming and insightful movie critic Joel Siegel has died in New York, after a long and remarkably courageous struggle with cancer, at the age of 63.
Both colleagues and fans delighted in his unique way of blending cheerful good humor and piercing critical acumen in reviews that made them instantly clear to anyone. You knew exactly what he thought often with the bonus of a good laugh.

RIP.
He was just talking about his cancer when Elizabeth Edwards was diagnosed again.
He looked okay at the time so he must have really gone down hill fast.

Sad. He seemed a very decent man. He had a son who is still, I believe, in grade school. Truly tragic for him. Prayers up for his family.
