Oscar-winning actress Cloris Leachman has been hospitalized in Los Angeles suffering from pneumonia.

The 82-year-old, who was recently voted off the current season of reality show Dancing With The Stars, was reportedly admitted late last week, after falling ill while in a car with her son George.

Entertainment Tonight reports that doctors quickly diagnosed her with pneumonia, and began treatment to battle the illness.

A spokesperson for the star - who won an Academy Award for 1971 movie The Last Picture Show - has yet to confirm the reports, and it's unknown if Leachman is still in the hospital.
