Crash star Terrence Howard is to head up an all-African-American production of Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning play Cat On A Hot Tin Roof on Broadway in March. The actor will perform alongside thespian Phylicia Rashad in the play, which will be directed by former Fame actress Debbie Allen. Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, which made it to the big screen and starred Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, has been revived on Broadway four times before, but this production marks the first African-American production approved by Williams' estate for the Broadway stage. The show will also feature Dreamgirls star Anika Noni Rose and James Earl Jones, who recently starred opposite Taylor in a one-night-only benefit performance of Love Letters in Los Angeles.

The Writers Guild of America agreed to withdraw its pickets from the Paramount studio lot on Saturday so that Elizabeth Taylor and James Earl Jones would not have to cross their lines to give an AIDS benefit performance. Taylor had asked the guild for a "one night dispensation" so that she and her invitees could participate in the affair. Taylor and Jones gave a reading of A.R. Gurney's play, Love Letters. It was attended by more than 500 people, who each paid $2,500 for the one-night performance.
