\n Superstar to superstar. To Paul Newman, Elizabeth Taylor was “a functioning voluptuary \u2026 a courageous survivor, a helluva actress and someone I am extremely proud to know.”<\/p>\n

Even in the sanitized 1958 MGM version of Tennessee Williams’s potent drama in which they costarred, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof \u2013 with the sultry Newman as the drunkard ex-athlete Brick and an indelible Taylor as his neglected wife, Maggie the Cat \u2013 the two sent audiences’ pulses racing. But they were more than simply sex symbols. Both proved themselves Academy Award-level actors and world-class humanitarians.<\/p>\n

Now, sadly, they are both gone. Newman died at age 83, in 2008, and Taylor, at 79, early Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, their performances remain \u2013 as does a tribute Newman paid Taylor on behalf of Turner Classic Movies. (See the video below.)<\/p>\n

“What can you say about a legend?” Newman muses at the beginning of the four-minute video love letter. Acknowledging but not dwelling upon her remarkable violent eyes or stunning beauty, Newman instead concentrates on her screen presence, “her volatility, her sense of truth.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
