Reports in the US have said Elizabeth Taylor is being treated for Alzheimer's disease.

The Oscar-winning actress, 74, has been suffering from dementia for several months, it is claimed.

A source is quoted in American magazine National Enquirer. "Elizabeth is now being treated for the early stages of Alzheimer's," he said. "At this point there is very little that can be done.

"She confided to her specialists that she finds herself more and more confused. Liz wakes up sometimes and really does not know where she is and she's scared."
