Get well soon, Pia Zadora!

The 60-year-old entertainer has been hospitalized in intensive care after falling from a golf cart and suffering a head injury on Thursday night near their home in the Las Vegas community of Summerlin, her rep confirmed Friday to E! News.

"Pia is resting comfortably and has been moved out of trauma care, but still remains in ICU," the rep said. "When she improves, she will have ankle surgery in Los Angeles in the next week or so."

Her husband, Mike Jeffries, had told the Las Vegas Sun that Zadora had suffered bleeding on her brain and a compound fracture of her right ankle. She was in and out of consciousness but showing signs of improvement, he said.

Zadora was forced to cancel her upcoming singing engagements for this weekend and next at Piero's, an Italian restaurant not far from the Vegas Strip.

The Vegas resident got her start as a child actress in the Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof in the 1960s and won the Golden Globe in 1982 for New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture for the crime drama Butterfly, which was one of Orson Welles' final films.

Her big-screen appearances include memorable cameos in Troop Beverly Hills and Naked Gun 33 1/3.
