Friends and former colleagues remember a beloved, unique talent.
Ralf Ludemann, former box office and online editor of Screen International and Screendaily, has died aged 56. He had suffered from intermittent spells of ill health over the last three years and died following a short illness.
Ludemann joined Screen as box office reporter in March 1990 from Screen Finance, where he did the same job under former Screen editor Terry Ilott. According to former editor Boyd Farrow who started at Screen on the same day, Ludemann’s first task was to predict the box office bonanza that My Left Foot would earn from its Oscars triumph.
