London - She's almost as famous for her long list of husbands as she is for her work on screen.
But though her acting days may be over, it appears Elizabeth Taylor has not yet tired of marriage - she has reportedly become engaged for the ninth time at the age of 78.
The legendary actress is understood to be marrying her long-term partner, talent agent Jason Winters, who is 29 years her junior.
The couple were first linked in 2007 after Dame Elizabeth was seen caressing Mr Winters's face during an evening out in Hawaii. She has since described him as "one of the most wonderful men I've ever known".
However, reports of their engagement will come as a surprise following revelations in recent years about her deteriorating health.
She has undergone more than 100 operations in the last 25 years, as well as being admitted to hospital three times this year.
Her long list of medical problems include two hip replacements, five back operations, a brain tumour, skin cancer, diabetes, pneumonia, seizures and a stroke.
She is said to be suffering with osteoporosis and excruciating neck pain due to a crooked spine.

A source close to the couple added: "It's no secret that they've been together for ever and are in love, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they were engaged. Right now they are keeping it between them."
