Although Elizabeth Taylor was hospitalized for an unnamed reason, she was in good condition and was expected to return home soon, representatives for the Oscar-winning actress announced on Thursday, opposing tabloid newspapers stories that reported she had serious health problems.

However, the statement released by Dick Guttman, her Los Angeles-based spokesman, did not specify where the 76-year-old legend was staying, nor did it indicate what she was suffering from. “Ms. Taylor is fine. The rumors which began in England about her health are dramatic, overstated and untrue. Her hospital visit was precautionary. She will be returning home shortly,” the statement read, as reported by Reuters.

A report on the National Enquirer Web site said that Elizabeth Taylor had been connected to a life-support machine after suffering congestive heart failure. Furthermore, as the report cited “a friend”, it was also taken on by other sources, including Britain’s Daily Mail.

As reported by the Associated Press, several health problems have affected the famous actress throughout the years, such as congestive heart failure four years ago, spinal fractures, scoliosis, ulcers, amoebic dysentery, two severe bouts of pneumonia, drug and alcohol addiction and a benign brain tumor that was surgically removed in 1997.

Elizabeth Taylor started her Hollywood career as a teenager, acting in productions such as “Lassie Come Home” and “National Velvet.” The artist won Oscars for her roles in “Butterfield 8” in 1960 and “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” six years later and was also nominated for three other Academy Awards prizes. Furthermore, Taylor won a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, primarily for her efforts as an AIDS activist, in 1993.
