Zsa Zsa Gabor (born Gábor Sári on February 6, 1917) is a Hungarian-American actress and socialite, who, like her two sisters, is best known for her beauty and wealthy lifestyle. Zsa Zsa is known for her affection for jewelry, her quick wit, as well as referring to everyone she speaks with as "darling", but acquired a reputation for matrimony, and being famous for "being famous". Zsa Zsa is also the only Gabor sister to bear a child.
Birth She was born in Budapest, Hungary, the second of three daughters born to Vilmos (a soldier) and Jolie Gabor (née Janka Tilleman). The name Zsa Zsa is a nickname for the Hungarian version of the name Susan (Zsuzsanna). Siblings The birth years of the Gabor sisters may be fabrications to make them appear younger. Her sisters are Magda and Eva. Zsa Zsa often claimed to have won the "Miss Hungary" beauty contest in 1936, but her mother, Jolie sometimes claimed she had won it. Gabor's maternal family was Jewish. Her birthname was Sári, not Zsuzsanna. Husbands She has had nine husbands: Snopes.com claims that Gabor was the one who proposed before all nine of her marriages. * Child She and Conrad Hilton had one daughter, Francesca Hilton. Zsa Zsa is the only Gabor sister to bear a child. George Sanders later married Zsa Zsa's sister, Magda, and committed suicide in 1972. In 2005 Zsa Zsa accused her daughter, Francesca Hilton, of larceny and fraud, and was forced to file suit against her in a California court (see *). Porfirio Rubirosa 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. Hollywood
Arrest On June 14, 1989, Zsa Zsa was accused of slapping the face of a Beverly Hills police officer 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 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 by way of cameo appearances in movies such as The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (wherein she slapped a police car's light that was following her and remarked "This happens every fucking time that I go shopping"), the 1993 film version of The Beverly Hillbillies (in which she claimed that the officer had slapped her in what was described as a "drive-by slapping"), and A Very Brady Sequel (wherein she gloated upon the publicity she earned from the incident), and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air (When Carlton accidentally slapped a cop, when the slap was supposed to be meant for Will, and Zsa Zsa replied by saying "I have witnesses, it wasn't me".) Recent health 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. 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 quite an excellent recovery, given her age, and her husband appears to be taking very good care of her.
