He was a brilliant interviewer and raconteur, and indeed loved classic movies. Roger Ebert was a close friend and has written a warm, effective tribute to Terkel on his Sun-Times Web site. Barack Obama also became friends with Studs, whom I regret didn’t see his ultimate triumph.

But Studs would probably bristle a bit at the reference to the Cubs in the lead graph. From what I gather, he was more a Sox fan (and I’m not referring to Boston).

I dont live in Chicago so I am not aware of him as a local hero… but I remember feeling pretty similar about Deerhunter when it came out and his review was – I thought- so spot on….. a giant has passed and thank you suzidoll for reminding us about his amazing contributions. And I love what he wrote to you- so special and so studs!!

I just figured he might live forever! I haven’t heard of The Spectator, but I love your descriptions and now I must find it! Thanks for the personal tribute to a legend.

I never new Terkel was such a film fan in addition to his many other passions. He will be profoundly missed.

I’ll be looking for a copy of “The Spectator” asap. He was a beautiful man. How lucky you were to meet him, however briefly, Suzi.
