LOS ANGELES - Actress Elizabeth Taylor was given a small private funeral service in the Los Angeles area on Thursday, a day after she died of congestive heart failure, police said.
The Oscar-winning actress, 79, was laid to rest at the Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale, outside Los Angeles -- the same place where her close friend, singer Michael Jackson, was buried in 2009.
Glendale police spokesman Tom Lorenz told media waiting outside the cemetery that the service was for family only, with about three dozen people attending.
