| Elizabeth Taylor is speaking out against tabloid "death watch" reports that she's gravely ill and fighting a losing battle—or any battle—with Alzheimer's disease.
In her first television interview in three years, the legendary Dame scoffed at the rumors on Larry King Live Tuesday night, claiming she's never suffered from the debilitating disease and that reports to the contrary are simply "dirty."
"Oh, come on, do I look like I'm dying?" she said on the CNN show. "Do I look like or sound like I have Alzheimer's?"
When asked by King what prompted the widely circulated death bed reports, Taylor placed the blame squarely on the press, saying they publish the made-up tales "because they have nothing else dirty to write about anybody else. They won't let me retire."
The suspendered host kicked off the questioning by asking to "clear up some things. A lot of tabloid stories about you."
"Oh, my god," Taylor said. "Am I dead? Am I alive?"
The 74-year-old screen legend has recently been the subject of a flurry of grave headlines that came in the wake of a National Enquirer cover story titled "Liz Alzheimer's Tragedy." The story, appearing in the tabloid's June 5 issue, cited a "longtime friend" of the actress alleging that Taylor was being treated for the onset of the disease and that doctors were worried the one-woman perfumery was "slipping mentally."
"Do you think any friends of mine would say things like that?" she said when asked about the National Enquirer story.
