LOS ANGELES — Elizabeth Taylor remained in a Los Angeles hospital Saturday for treatment of congestive heart failure.
The Oscar-winning actress’ condition was unchanged, said her spokeswoman, Sally Morrison, on early Saturday afternoon. She did not know how long Taylor would remain at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The 78-year-old Taylor first disclosed in November 2004 that she suffered from congestive heart failure. The condition was compounded with other ailments, including spinal fractures and the effects of scoliosis.
The actress had near-fatal bouts with pneumonia in 1961 and 1990, and another respiratory infection forced her to cancel all engagements for several weeks in late 1992. Both her hip joints were replaced in 1994 and 1995.
She’s also battled ulcers, amoebic dysentery and bursitis, and she had a benign brain tumor removed in 1997. In recent years, she has had to use a wheelchair when in public.
Taylor, who’s appeared in more than 50 films, won Oscars for her performances in “Butterfield 8” (1960) and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (1966). The Associated Press
