Taylor: Heart Surgery 'Went Off Perfectly'

Actress, 77, tweets that 'it's like having a brand new ticker'

Share

(Newser) – Elizabeth Taylor’s heart surgery today “went off perfectly,” she writes on Twitter. “It’s like having a brand new ticker.” The actress, 77, says the procedure was to repair a “leaky valve,” and ripped media reports that she has diabetes as “a total lie.” “Bless their little hearts,” she wrote pre-operation, “had to add something.”

Of course it went perfectly. She's got more lives than a cat. Bravo, for Dame Lz, but man, I remember when she died in '65. And every few years subsequently. Reply

Are you sure it was 1965? Cleopatra was made in 1963 & if you look closely you'll see her tracheotomy scar. She was in Butterfield 8 in 1960 & I remember talk of a near death hospital emergency. People were saying that she won the Butterfield 8 Oscar because the Hollywood community was feeling sorry for her. How many lives does this lady have? Amazing.
