Elizabeth Taylor, 76, has been put on life support, reports the London tabloid The Daily Mail, after suffering from congestive heart failure. She made history, of course, in 1960 when she she won the Oscar Best Actress for portraying a tracheotomy in Butterfield 8. More recently, she made history for the worst ever piece of dialogue uttered by an Academy Award winner, when she sneered at Fred Flintstone (John Goodman), "you're as drunk as a skunkasaurus!" (somebody post it on YouTube, quick)
The Daily Mail also links to pictures of an emaciated, wheelchair-bound Paul Newman, 83, who reportedly is battling lung cancer.
UPDATE: The official word, from Ms. Taylor's representatives: "Ms. Taylor is fine. Her hospital visit was precautionary. She will be returning home shortly. At present, she is surrounded by family, friends and fabulous jewels."
