HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Good news: Elizabeth Taylor's health has improved since being hospitalized last week for a heart problem.
"There has been steady improvement in her condition," her rep said Tuesday in a statement. "Her medical team is gratified by her progress to date, and it is hoped and expected that this will continue over the next few days. For now, she will remain under their care in the hospital for continued monitoring."
The famed actress, who is being treated for congestive heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, was visited by family and friends over the weekend, but is "resting a lot" in order to regain her strength, her rep said.
The rep also denied reports that Taylor had suffered a heart attack.
Taylor, 78, 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.
