Elizabeth Taylor was hospitalized this week for congestive heart failure. The 78-year-old actress checked in to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with symptoms similar to those she experienced in 2009, when doctors repaired a leaky heart valve. Though she was at one point listed in critical condition, Taylor is expected to recover. “I can assure you she is fine,” said her publicist.
