I was in 3rd grade the first time I saw Elizabeth Taylor onscreen. It was during summer, on one of those sweltering South Texas hot days, when going outside was like sauntering into hell. I flopped onto the couch and flipped through the channels.
Newman, who died back in 2008, narrated a special tribute for the legendary star back a few years ago for Turner Classic Movies. He was one of Taylor's many co-stars throughout her career.

Loyal, caring, unpretentious, open/honest, brave, full of life/spirit, talented actress, fascinating, real, magnetic, and a "superstar" when that term really meant something. Both my grandmothers were named Elizabeth, and Heaven just received another angel named Liz.
