Elizabeth Taylor Hospitalized After Onstage Collapse
Elizabeth Taylor was admitted Saturday for a respiratory infection and inflamed rib cartilage after collapsing backstage before The Little Foxes. She insisted on performing Friday night despite fever and pain, leading to cancellations of Friday and Saturday shows and a tribute to Bob Hope planned for Sunday. Princess Anne and her newborn daughter were reported well, with Anne’s second child born Friday in London. Space shuttle astronauts John Young Robert Crippen attended USC for honorary degrees, joined by John Williams. A separate census report notes rising nonfamily households and single-person homes, with shifts in family structure and education enrollment trends through 1979.
