Director James Cameron has written a touching tribute to actor Bill Paxton, who died over the weekend at age 61 due to surgery complications. In a piece for The Hollywood Reporter, Cameron, who cast Paxton in Aliens and Titanic, said Paxton was an "absolute original" and a wonderful actor. Cameron revealed that Paxton sent him a 700-pound stone head of Bacchus, the party god, that the actor acquired from a hotel that was being demolished.
