Zsa Zsa Gabor (Template:IPAc-en Template:Respell, Template:IPA; born Sári Gábor Template:IPA; February 6, 1917 – December 18, 2016) was a Hungarian-American socialite and actress. Her sisters were socialite Magda Gabor and actress and businesswoman Eva Gabor.

Gabor competed in the 1933 Miss Hungary pageant, where she placed as second runner-up. She began her stage career in Vienna the following year. Gabor emigrated from Hungary to the United States in 1941 and became a sought-after actress with "European flair and style". Her first film role was a supporting role in Lovely to Look At, released in 1952. The same year, she appeared in We're Not Married! and in her most famous film, Moulin Rouge. Gabor appeared in more than 70 movies, and her acting career continued into the 1990s.

Outside of her career, Gabor was famous for her glamour, her extravagant Hollywood lifestyle, and her series of marriages. Gabor had nine husbands, including hotel magnate Conrad Hilton and actor George Sanders.

Template:AnchorEarly life and family

Zsa Zsa Gabor was born Sári Gábor on February 6, 1917,<ref name="NFI" /><ref name="bbcobit" />Template:Efn in Budapest, Hungary, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.<ref name="yearofbirth" /> The middle of three daughters, her parents were Jolie (née Janszieka Tillemann) and Vilmos Gábor (né Grün).<ref name="Grün-Gábor">

</ref><ref name="nytimes/vilmos-81">

Gabor was named after Sári Fedák, a Hungarian actress.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Gabor was called Zsa Zsa because, as a little girl, she couldn't pronounce her own name.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In 1941, Gabor left Hungary for the United States. During a layover at Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska en route to Hollywood, she made headlines by telling the Associated Press that she had danced with Adolf Hitler twice.<ref>The Tampa Tribune. June 22, 1941. p. 3.</ref><ref>The Lincoln Star. June 20, 1941. p. 2.</ref>Template:Efn In 1949, she received American citizenship.<ref name="NFI" />

On July 8, 1944, aided by Gabor's then-husband, Conrad Hilton,<ref name="dday-overlord/8-july-1944">Template:Cite web</ref> Gabor's parents fled Budapest during the Nazi invasion and occupation of Hungary.<ref name="fdrlibrary/wrb0210"/><ref name=JPost>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name=Bennetts>Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref>

In 1944, Gabor co-wrote a novel with writer Victoria Wolf entitled Every Man For Himself. According to Gabor, the fictional story was derived, in small part, from Gabor's life experiences. The book was bought by an American magazine.<ref name="Novel">Template:Cite web</ref> In 1949, Gabor declined an offer to play the leading role in a film version of the classic book Lady Chatterley's Lover. According to the Cedar Rapids Gazette, she turned down the role of Lady Chatterley due to the story's controversial theme.<ref name="Chatterley">Template:Cite web</ref>

Gabor's film credits include Moulin Rouge (her most famous film),<ref name=":0" /> Lovely to Look At, and We're Not Married!, all from 1952, and 1953's Lili. In 1958, she ran the gamut of moviemaking, from Touch of Evil to the camp oddity Queen of Outer Space. Later, she appeared in such films as Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood (1976) and Frankenstein's Great Aunt Tillie (1984).

She did cameos for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), The Beverly Hillbillies (1993), and A Very Brady Sequel (1996), as well as voicing a character in the animated Happily Ever After (1989).Template:Citation needed John Huston, who directed Gabor in Moulin Rouge, later described her as a "creditable" actress.<ref>Huston, John.

Gabor was a socialite<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> known for her glamour, her series of marriages, and her Hollywood extravagance.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Author Gerold Frank, who helped Gabor write her autobiography in 1960, described his impressions of her:

Template:Blockquote

In his autobiography, television host Merv Griffin, who was known to spend time with Gabor's younger sister Eva socially, wrote of the Gabor sisters' arrival in New York and Hollywood: Template:Blockquote

In 1998, film historian Neal Gabler called her kind of celebrity "The Zsa Zsa Factor".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Personal life

Gabor was married nine times. She was divorced seven times, and one marriage was annulled.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> She wrote the following in her autobiography: Template:Blockquote

Gabor also said, "Men have always liked me and I have always liked men. But I like a mannish man, a man who knows how to talk to and treat a woman—not just a man with muscles."<ref>"Love Hints from Zsa Zsa", Life Magazine, October 15, 1951 (cover story).</ref>

Her husbands, in chronological order, were:

Gabor's divorces inspired her to make numerous quotable puns and innuendos about her marital and extramarital history. She commented: "I am a marvelous housekeeper: every time I leave a man I keep his house."<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> When asked how many husbands she had, she used to say: "You mean other than my own?".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Gabor dated German composer Willy Schmidt-Gentner,<ref>Staggs (2019), p. 57</ref> and Dominican diplomat Porfirio Rubirosa.<ref name=Bennetts /> She also claimed to have had sexual encounters with her stepson Nicky<ref name=Bennetts /> and with the first Turkish president, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.<ref>Gabor's romance with Atatürk:

In 1973, Gabor purchased a nearly 9,000-square-foot Hollywood Regency-style home in Bel Air. It was originally built for Howard Hughes in 1955 and featured a copper French style roof.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Gabor's only child, daughter Constance Francesca Hilton, was born on March 10, 1947.<ref name="ReferenceA" /><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> According to Gabor's 1991 autobiography, One Lifetime Is Not Enough, her pregnancy resulted from rape by then-husband Conrad Hilton.Template:Sfn She was the only Gabor sister who had a child.<ref name="Bennetts" />

In 2005, a lawsuit was filed accusing Constance of larceny and fraud. She allegedly forged her mother's signature to get a US$2 million loan by using her mother's Bel Air house as collateral. The Los Angeles County Superior Court, Santa Monica, threw out the case due to Gabor's failure to appear in court, or to sign an affidavit that she indeed was a co-plaintiff on the original lawsuit filed by her husband, Frédéric von Anhalt. Francesca Hilton died in 2015 at the age of 67 from a stroke.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Out of concern for Gabor's physical and emotional state, Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt never told her about her daughter's death.<ref name="last wish">Template:Cite web</ref>

Gabor and her last husband, Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, adopted at least ten adult men who paid them a fee of up to $2 million to legally become descendants of Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt. Prinz von Anhalt had himself paid Marie-Auguste to adopt him when he was 36 years old.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

While Gabor's parents were Jewish,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> she was a practising Catholic.<ref name=JPost/><ref name="bbcobit">Template:Cite news</ref>

On June 14, 1989, in Beverly Hills, California, Gabor was accused of slapping the face of Beverly Hills police officer Paul Kramer when he stopped her for a traffic violation at 8551 Olympic Boulevard.<ref>Profile, Mugshots.net Template:Webarchive; retrieved April 18, 2007</ref> At trial three months later, a jury convicted her of slapping Kramer. They also found her guilty of driving without a license and possessing an open container of alcohol—a flask of Jack Daniel's—in her $215,000 Rolls-Royce, but acquitted her of the charge of disobeying Kramer when she drove away from the traffic stop.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On October 25, 1989, Beverly Hills Municipal Judge Charles G. Rubin sentenced Gabor to serve three days in jail, to pay fines and restitution totaling $12,937, to perform 120 hours of community service, and to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On June 14, 1990, Gabor dropped her conviction appeal and agreed to serve her sentence.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> She refused to take part in community service and served three days in jail from July 27 to 30, 1990.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Gabor had a long-running feud with German-born actress Elke Sommer beginning in 1984 when both appeared on Circus of the Stars, and escalating into a multimillion-dollar libel suit by 1993. The suit resulted in an order for Gabor and her husband to pay Sommer $3.3 million in general and punitive damages.<ref name="pool1993">Pool, Bob.

Later life and health

On November 27, 2002, Gabor was a front seat passenger in an automobile crash on Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, from which she remained partially paralyzed and reliant on a wheelchair for mobility.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She survived strokes in 2005 and 2007 and underwent surgeries. In 2010, she fractured her hip and underwent a successful hip replacement.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In August 2010, Gabor was admitted to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in serious condition and received last rites from a Catholic priest, but survived.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2011, her right leg was amputated above the knee to save her life from an infection.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In 2011, she was hospitalized again for a number of emergencies, and fell into a coma.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On February 8, 2016, two days after her 99th birthday, Gabor was rushed to hospital after suffering from breathing difficulties. She was diagnosed with a feeding tube-related lung infection and was scheduled to undergo surgery to have her feeding tube removed.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In April 2016, it was reported that Prinz von Anhalt was arranging to move with Gabor to Hungary in time for her 100th birthday in 2017, in accordance with her wishes that she return to Hungary and spend the rest of her life there.<ref name="last wish" />

Death

While in a coma, Gabor died from cardiac arrest at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center on December 18, 2016, at the age of 99. On her death certificate, coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease are listed as contributing causes.<ref name=ZSACertificate>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="greylady" /> She had been on life support for the previous five years.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Her funeral was held on December 30 in a Catholic ceremony at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills. Approximately 100 mourners attended.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Her ashes, placed in a gold rectangular box, were interred at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In July 2021, Prinz von Anhalt had her ashes reinterred in the artists' section of Kerepesi Cemetery in Budapest in order to fulfil her wish to return to Hungary. He said that the remains were transported in their own first-class airline seat.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
