Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor has died in Los Angeles. She was 79.
Publicist Sally Morrison says the actor died on Wednesday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre from congestive heart failure. Ms. Morrison says her children were at her side.
She’d been hospitalized for about six weeks.
Taylor first gained stardom as a child and appeared in more than 50 films. She won Oscars for her performances in Butterfield 8 and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
She was equally famous for her stormy personal life, including eight marriages and a series of physical ailments.
In later years, she was a spokeswoman for humanitarian causes, notably AIDS research. That work gained her a special Oscar in 1993.
