Roger Ebert Shows Off New Face



Following a battle with jaw cancer, Roger Ebert not only lost his voice, but the lower half of his face.

"I studiously avoided looking at myself in a mirror," Ebert writes on his blog Wednesday.

Now, his jaw has been reconstructed. It was a "two-year process that has now resulted with my coming into possession of a silicone prosthesis," Ebert, 68, explains. "This device [fits] over my lower face and neck and colored to match my skin."
