Elizabeth Taylor

Dame Elizabeth Taylor's ailing health has prompted sales representatives for cosmetics company Elizabeth Arden to reportedly ask for "bereavement rates" on advertisements featuring the Hollywood legend.

The 77-year-old - the face of the cosmetics company's White Diamonds perfume - uses a wheelchair and is thought to be suffering from congestive heart failure.

Reports in October (08) claimed Taylor was in such poor health, she had visited family members in the U.K. to bid them farewell.

According to the New York Post, sales representatives for Elizabeth Arden are contacting beauty magazines to ask for discounted advertising rates should Taylor die this year (09).

A source says, "They want to do a big 'we loved you' kind of spread on the cheap."
