Elizabeth Taylor ‘Fine’ After Seizure
A day after suffering a seizure, actress Elizabeth Taylor was in good condition Sunday, recovering well from brain surgery she underwent to remove a tumor.
“Everything is perfectly normal,” said Ron Wise, spokesman for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. “She seems to be fine. She’s very alert and her spirits are good, and she’s not had a repeat of whatever it was.”
Taylor, who turned 65 on Thursday, had the seizure at her Bel-Air home Saturday. It came nine days after surgeons removed a benign, golfball-sized tumor from her brain.
Such seizures are fairly common after neurosurgery, Wise said, adding that doctors have not indicated when Taylor will be released from the hospital.
“The doctors have done tests and they’ve ruled out anything serious,” said Shirine Ann Coburn, Taylor’s spokeswoman. “She’s going to remain at the hospital for a while for further testing.”
The two-time Oscar-winning actress underwent about four hours of surgery Feb. 20 to remove the brain tumor.
