The scar-worn star is now back in the hospital at U.C.L.A. recovering from surgery for removal of an ovarian cyst. To date, Elizabeth's medical history would make Marcus Welby a millionaire: in 30 years, she has had 33 operations. Perhaps because Taylor's medical crises have sometimes coincided with her emotional traumas, visitors to her VIP hospital suite are carefully screened. Among the privileged few allowed to help her recuperate are Old Friend Peter Lawford and former...
