Zsa Zsa Gábor
She was born in Budapest, Hungary, the second of three daughters (Magda, Sari, and Eva) born to Vilmos Gábor, a soldier, and Jolie Gabor (née Janka Tilleman). The name Zsa Zsa is a nickname for Sári in her native Hungarian. She was named after the then top Hungarian actress Sári Fedák, who was also called Zsa Zsa because her daughter couldn't pronounce the name Sári.
Zsa Zsa often claimed to have won the "Miss Hungary" beauty contest in 1936, but was later disqualified for being underage at the time of the contest.
As a child she lived in Switzerland, studied at the Vienna Music Academy, and landed a role in the operetta "The Singing Dream" as a soubrette. This was her first stage appearance and at the time, she had an affair with a man named Willi, according to her book "Zsa Zsa Gábor" written by Gerold Frank in 1960.
Her sisters are Magda and Éva.
She has had nine husbands:
Burhan Belge, press director for the foreign ministry of Turkey, later known as a writer and diplomat (1937-1941).
Conrad Hilton, Hilton Hotel magnate (1942-1946)
George Sanders, actor (1949-1954)
Herbert Hutner, financial consultant (1964-1966)
Joshua S. Cosden, Jr., oil heir and businessman, (1966-1967)
Jack Ryan, inventor associated with the Barbie and Chatty Cathy dolls, (1975-1976)
Michael O'Hara (1977-1982)
Felipe de Alba was an invalid marriage; it was bigamous, Zsa Zsa was still married to Michael O'Hara, and it was performed by a ship's captain at sea, but not in international waters (or as she claimed ". . . Was not far enough out to sea. . .", you have to be twelve miles out, in international waters, for a ship's captain's marriage to be legal). An annulment was received. (1982)
Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt (married; 1986 - present). He claimed to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter when Anna died at 39, in February 2007, just months after her son died of an overdose.
L. Waldorf of Staten Island, New York, claims he had an affair with Zsa Zsa in the 1980s. He asked her to keep it quiet as he was engaged to be married. Zsa Zsa herself has claimed she proposed all of her marriages.
Zsa Zsa is the only Gábor sister to bear a child. According to Zsa Zsa's book, One Lifetime Is Not Enough, Conrad Hilton raped her causing the pregnancy. She and Conrad Hilton had one daughter, Francesca Hilton, born 10 March 1947.
In 2005 Zsa Zsa accused her daughter, Francesca Hilton, of larceny and fraud, and filed suit against her in a California court.
Zsa Zsa also had a relationship with Porfirio Rubirosa, a noted Dominican international playboy and sometime diplomat. She refused to leave George Sanders to marry him, whereupon Rubirosa married Barbara Hutton (for seventy-three days) and then renewed his relationship with Zsa Zsa. In their 4 year relationship, Zsa Zsa has claimed Rubirosa proposed to her many times and she just wouldn't budge. Later in the relationship they did get engaged but "Rubi" broke the engagement claiming if Zsa Zsa took a part in Death of a Scoundrel (co-starring her sometime ex. George Sanders) he would leave her.
Among the movies Zsa Zsa appeared in were her starring role as singer Jane Avril in John Huston's Moulin Rouge (1952), Lili (1953), Sang et Lumičres (aka Love in a hot Climate 1954) a French film that had her co-star with Daniel Gélin, Queen of Outer Space (1958) which is considered as one of the worst (or silliest) films ever made - she jokingly recalled that the only direction she was given during production was "not to laugh at the dialogue", and late film noir classic Touch of Evil (1958) with cinema giant Orson Welles. Only once did she play opposite ex-husband George Sanders, in the noirish Death of a Scoundrel (1956).
Decades later she had a cameo appearance as herself in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Even though she appeared in many films, she was never really considered a successful actress, and thrived as a media personality. From the 1950s to 1970s she was a staple of television talk shows hosted by Jack Paar, Mike Douglas, Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin, where she could be counted on to be amusing, witty, and combative.
Though her movies continued, their quality did not, and her later career was as a celebrity rather than a serious actress. The Gabor sisters (competing with each other for the limited number of roles they might play with Hungarian accents) often engaged in always well-publicized "feuds," but it was Zsa Zsa who seemed to thrive on adverse publicity.
However, she managed to sustain her acting career on stage in the late 60s and 70s in Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit, Forty Carats, which was her Broadway debut, and for Arsenic and Old Lace.
Because of her B-Movie stardom and her corresponding private life she was called Hollywood's "most expensive courtesan since Madame de Pompadour" (Ephraim Katz's "The Film Encyclopedia).
On June 14, 1989, Zsa Zsa was accused of slapping the face of a Beverly Hills police officer, named Paul Kramer, when he stopped her for a traffic violation. She was found guilty of the assault in a well-publicized trial and sentenced to three days (72 hours) in jail (and required to pay $13,000 in court costs). She testified that her behavior had been provoked by the officer, who she said had behaved extremely rudely and insulted her with obscenities. According to the Rotten Library, "Gabor later complained that she was denied a jury of her peers, saying 'It was not my class of people. There was not a producer, a press agent, a director, an actor.'"
Gabor poked fun at her role in the incident with numerous cameo appearances:
in The Naked Gun 2˝: The Smell of Fear: she slapped a police car's light that was following her and remarked "This happens every fucking time that I go shopping"),
in the 1993 film version of The Beverly Hillbillies: she claimed that the officer had slapped her in what was described as a "drive-by slapping"),
in A Very Brady Sequel: she gloated upon the publicity she earned from the incident),
in the 18 Nov 1991, season 2, episode 10 of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air: when Carlton accidentally slaps a cop when trying to slap his cousin Will, Zsa Zsa replies by saying "I have witnesses, it wasn't me", and when Hilary asks, "There's something that I'm just dying to know", Zsa Zsa says, "Yes, I did it...and he deserved to be slapped".
Zsa Zsa was a passenger in an automobile accident that occurred November 27, 2002, that was initially reported as having sent her into a coma, but the report was in error. She was conscious by the time medical assistance arrived. She left the hospital in early January 2003, facing continued physical therapy. She sued and was awarded $2 million.
On July 7, 2005, Zsa Zsa suffered a massive stroke leaving her in critical condition at a local hospital. She underwent surgery to remove a blockage in her carotid artery. She returned home on July 15 and is said to be making a good recovery, given her age. Her husband, Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt is taking care of her.
