Cleo Goes to Hospital Again
- Made:
- 18 February 1962 in Rome
Silver gelatin print by Planet News Limited, titled "Cleo Goes to Hospital Again", 18 February 1962. Printed caption on verso reads: "Rome, Italy: 'Cleopatra of Egypt', alias Elizabeth Taylor of Hollywood and wife of actor-singer Eddie Fisher, wears a deep-cleavage dress, part of her wardrobe for the title role in the epic movie 'Cleopatra' is shown relaxing at the Cinecittie [sic] studios in this picture received today.
A nurse at the Rome Salvator Mundi hospital confirmed early this morning that Elizabeth Taylor was there for treatment.
'Cleopatra', with its multi-million dollar budget already vastly increased by Miss Taylor's 1961 near-fatal illness, was expected to be finished by the end of April. A studio spokesman said the filming had been running 'a couple weeks behind schedule'".
