LOS ANGELES - Actress Elizabeth Taylor on Thursday denied media reports
that she was planning to marry for the 9th time.
Taylor, 74, is being linked romantically with artist and photographer Firooz
Zahedi -- who in the mid-1970s became the star's personal photographer on her
film projects.
Responding to what she called stories "regarding my private life and future
plans," Taylor described Zahedi as "an old and dear friend."
But she added in a statement: "We are not, have never been and will never be
romantically involved. My private life and my plans, at this time remain
private."
Taylor, who was treated for congestive heart failure in 2004, went on U.S.
television in May to scoff at tabloid claims that she was gravely ill or
suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
The violet-eyed actress has been married eight times, twice to British actor
Richard Burton. Her last marriage, to building laborer Larry Fortensky, ended in
divorce in 1996 after about four years.
