HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Elizabeth Taylor has been hospitalized for an undisclosed reason, but the star's rep says she is expected home soon.
"Ms. Taylor is fine," publicist Dick Guttman said in a statement to the Associated Press. "Her hospital visit was precautionary. She will be returning home shortly. At present, she is surrounded by family, friends and fabulous jewels."
The statement followed several published reports claiming the 76-year-old actress was on life support and near death.
The Hollywood icon, who started her career as a teenager, has been plagued by several health problems in recent years, including congestive heart failure and two serious cases of pneumonia.
Taylor has two best actress Oscar wins to her name for "Butterfield 8" in 1960 and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" in 1966.
She also received a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, in 1993.
