Legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor will be going into hospital for a procedure on her heart.

The 77 year-old writes on her Twitter page “Dear Friends, I would like to let you know before it gets in the papers that I am going into the hospital to have a procedure on my heart. It’s very new and involves repairing my leaky valve using a clip device, without open heart surgery, so that my heart will function better. Any prayers you happen to have lying around I would dearly appreciate. I’ll let you know when it’s all over.”

Kelly Osbourne answered with her well wishes as did Sandra Bernhard saying “You have weathered harsher storms dear lady, we send every variety of prayer from many lands may they carry you through!”

No word on when and where the procedure will be taking place.

Taylor is best known for her roles in “Cleopatra” in 1963 and “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” in 1958.
