Minutes ago I learned that journalist and famed film critic Gene Shalit has died. He lived to 100 years of age. No doubt he enjoyed life to its fullest.
The video embedded here I recorded from NBC Today on Monday, March 27th, 1989. It was an interview the congenial critic did with legendary film scorer John Williams, who himself is newsworthy right now as he composed the music for director Stephen Spielberg's latest flick Disclosure Day. Somehow Mr Shalit was able to pull off an interview without coming across as fawning... which, at times, certainly to viewers like me, can be annoying and off-putting.
I pulled the 4-minute video clip from a posting I uploaded on February 8th of this year.
