Taylor treated for congestive heart failure

Elizabeth Taylor has been taken to hospital with congestive heart failure.

Her spokeswoman, Sally Morrison, said that the Oscar-winning actress was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre within the past couple of days.

Seventy-eight-year-old Taylor is being treated for symptoms caused by congestive heart failure, a condition she has suffered from for several years.

Morrison said it was unknown how long she might be in the hospital. She added that Taylor’s family appreciated the support from fans, but asked for privacy to allow the medical team space to do its work.
