Morley Safer's greatest hits
This week, CBS News lost a legend. Morley Safer -- the painter of prose, the prolific proponent of the truth -- had the sort of journalistic range and voice it is nearly impossible to come by. From the front lines of Vietnam to Katharine Hepburn's living room, Safer cut right to the humanity of the world's most larger-than-life figures and took viewers along for the ride.
He laughed with the Muppets. He flirted with Dame Helen Mirren. And he took major pop culture names, like Anna Wintour and Alec Baldwin, to task on the most controversial elements of their reputation.
Now, relive those fearless, authentic moments with these greatest hits from the man who brought journalistic integrity to the day's biggest stories, week after week, for over 50 years.
