Hollywood acting legend, Elizabeth Taylor is in critical condition after suffering congestive heart failure (originally diagnosed in 2004).  The 76-year-old was admitted to a medical centre 15 July after being diagnosed with pneumonia.  Her condition has reportedly worsened since then.

On the Wednesay (it is unclear which date) she was place on a ventilation machine after suffering congestive heart failure.  Thursday her condition improved and she was breathing unaided but is still very ill.

The star is no stranger to health problems.  In addition to having congestive heart failure she has had two hip replacement surgeries, a benign brain tumour that was removed in 1997, and she also has diabetes and osteoporosis.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
