LOS ANGELES (Reuters) — "Ally McBeal" star Calista Flockhart spent about six hours in a Los Angeles-area hospital after she fainted while taping the popular Fox television series earlier this week, her publicist said Friday.

Flockhart, 36, passed out Wednesday on the set in Manhattan Beach, Calif., and was taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors treated her for dehydration and exhaustion, spokeswoman Melissa Kates said.

She was "treated intravenously" during her six-hour hospital stay and was discharged later, Kates said. After going home to recuperate she returned to the set Friday, the publicist added.
