Jeanne Cooper tribute on CBS: 'A magnificent woman' -- EXCLUSIVE


In anticipation of CBS’ May 28 tribute to Jeanne Cooper, the longtime
star of The Young and the Restless who died at 84, EW obtained this
exclusive photo of Jess Walton (Jill Foster Abbott), seen above with
costar Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers Newman), from the special.
We also talked to Walton about shooting it and what she remembers
about her beloved costar.

“We tell the audience what we are about to do in the special and then
five different groups talk about her. What was really funny was how
much we all had in common. Kristoff St. John was a little pissed off
because he thought he had a special relationship with her and it turns
out everybody had a special relationship with her. She had the power
to make everyone feel so special.

“There was a choreography to what we did together in a scene. If one
gets too antagonistic, the other gets more sensitive. If one was too
big, the other would take it down. If one was too reactive, the other
would underplay it. It was like a dance. She was a magnificent woman,
one of the most complete human beings. Hilariously funny,
super-sensitive, very intelligent, very feisty. She could talk the
hind end out of a horse but was never boring. She was everything, this
woman. No wonder people are missing her so much. It was so brilliant
of the producers to do this. Fans absolutely needed that closure and
it gave all of us a certain amount of closure. It was really good for
us.

The Young and the Restless is paying tribute to the late Jeanne Cooper -- who played Katherine Chancellor on the long-running soap -- in a special tribute episode airing Tuesday, and in this exclusive clip Daniel Goddard shares his favorite moment working alongside the beloved legend.

"My favorite thing that Jeanne would do is on cue, cuss out Jess Walton [who played Jill Foster Abbott]," Goddard surprisingly shares. ".... I would get Jeanne to say things to Jess that would make a truck driver just freak out."

Though of course, the ribbing was all in good fun.

"Every single time, without a doubt, Jess would just react, and Jeanne would just laugh and laugh and laugh -- and that's one of the things about Jeanne that I loved the most."

Cooper's death was confirmed by her son Corbin Bernsen on May 8. She was 84 years old.

Check out the video to hear more of Goddard's fondest memories of Cooper.

CBS' tribute to Cooper airs Tuesday, May 28.
