Legendary Hollywood actress Elizabeth Taylor is undergoing treatment at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after suffering symptoms from congestive heart failure earlier this week, said her publicist, Sally Morrison. "Her family and close friends are appreciative of the warm support and interest of her loyal fans but have asked that people respect her privacy and allow her medical team the time and space to focus on restoring her back to health," Morrison said in a written statement.
Morrison on Thursday denied a tabloid report that Taylor was rushed to the hospital with intense abdominal pain. "Ms. Taylor was hoping to attend the 25th Anniversary event of AmFAR last night [Wednesday] where she was honored by the organization," read an e-mail to ABC News Thursday on behalf of Morrison. "Unfortunately, the combination of the unstable weather conditions and the fact that she was feeling under the weather forced her to make the decision not to travel. A message from Elizabeth was released at the AmFAR event last night.”
The 78-year-old Taylor is a two-time Academy Award-winning actress who became infamous for her multiple marriages and sometimes eccentric behavior. She was not fit for quite some time now and she appeared frail in public appearances.
She however, has a conversation with reality star Kim Kardashian that has been published in Harper's Bazaar. "Our interview in Bazaar came out!" she tweeted on Wednesday. "You look like a princess in Egyptian robes, love!" Taylor talked about her love life, her iconic roles and her jewels in the interview. "I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands," Taylor said. "I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course, I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things."
