AceShowbiz - Despite circulating rumors, Valerie Harper is not in a coma following hospitalization. Her husband and manager Tony Cacciotti told the Ogunquit Playhouse on Friday, July 31 that she "is doing well" while her daughter Cristina said the actress "is resting and recouping and very much her lively self."
The theater issued a statement on its website, clarifying Valerie's condition, "There have been conflicting reports in the media regarding Valerie Harper's condition after being admitted to the hospital Wednesday evening prior to going on stage at the Ogunquit Playhouse. Executive Artistic Director Bradford Kenney has been in direct communication with Valerie's family from the beginning and can report that Valerie is not, and has never been, in a coma."
"She is currently enjoying her family's company while resting at an undisclosed location. Valerie has been loving her time in Ogunquit and is looking forward to getting back on stage at the Ogunquit Playhouse," the theater added.
Earlier in the day, ET reported that Valerie was in a coma. While the "Mary and Rhoda" actress was reportedly discharged from hospital on Thursday, July 30, a source told the site that she was actually taken to a larger hospital for further treatment. The source added, "It doesn't look good."
