Liz Taylor Arrives For Brain Surgery

Elizabeth Taylor checked into the hospital Tuesday for surgery to remove a benign brain tumor.

Taylor entered Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for tests before Thursday’s operation, said Maria Pignataro, spokeswoman for the Oscar-winning actress.

The tumor, located in the lining of her brain’s left frontal lobe, was detected by an MRI brain scan during Taylor’s annual physical examination on Feb. 3. Her doctor expects a full recovery without complications, Pignataro said.
