The Academy Award-winning actress, who uses a wheelchair because of back
problems, was asked about the reports during an appearance on CNN's
"Larry King Live."
"Oh come on, do I look like I'm dying?" the 74-year-old actress asked
King in a rare television interview. "Do I look like or sound like I have
Alzheimer's?"
Taylor said tabloids report such things "because they have nothing else
dirty to write about anybody else."
She said her back problems go back to her teenage years because she was
born with scoliosis, which she described as double curvature of the
spine, and osteoporosis.
