 Undoubtedly the woman who had come to epitomize what we recognize today as "celebrity", Zsa Zsa Gabor, is better known for her many marriages, personal appearances, her "dahlink" catchphrase, her actions, gossip, and quotations on men, rather than her film career.Zsa Zsa was born as S��ri Gabor on February 6, 1917 in Budapest, Hungary, to Jolie Gabor (n��e Janka Tilleman) and Vilmos Gabor (born Farkas Mikl��s Gr��n), both of Jewish descent. Her siblings were Eva Gabor and Magda Gabor. Zsa Zsa studied at a Swiss finishing school, was second runner-up in the fifth Miss Hungary pageant, and began her stage career in Vienna in 1934. In 1941, the year she obtained her first divorce, she followed younger sister Eva to Hollywood.A radiant, beautiful blonde, Zsa Zsa began to appear on television series and occasional films. Her first film was at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in Lovely to Look At (1952), co-starring Kathryn Grayson and Red Skelton. She next made a comedy called We're Not Married! (1952) at 20th Century Fox with Ginger Rogers. It was far from a star billing; she appeared several names down the cast as a supporting actress. But in 1952 she broke into films big time with her starring role opposite Jos�� Ferrer in Moulin Rouge (1952), although it has been said that throughout filming, director John Huston gave her a very difficult time.In the following years, Zsa Zsa slipped back into supporting roles in films such as Lili (1953) and 3 Ring Circus (1954). Her main period of film work was in the 1950s, with other roles in Death of a Scoundrel (1956), with Yvonne De Carlo, and The Man Who Wouldn't Talk (1958) with Anna Neagle; again, these were supporting roles. By the 1960s, Zsa Zsa was appearing more as herself in films. She now appeared to follow her own persona around, and cameo appearances were the order of the day in films such as Pepe (1960) and Jack of Diamonds (1967). This continued throughout the 1970s.She was memorable as herself in The Naked Gun 2?: The Smell of Fear (1991), in which she humorously poked fun at a 1989 incident where she was convicted of slapping a police officer (Paul Kramer) during a traffic stop. She spent three days in jail and had to do 120 hours of community service. Such infamous incidents contributed to her becoming one of the most all-time recognizable of Hollywood celebrities, and sometimes ridiculed as a result. She was also memorable to British television viewers on The Ruby Wax Show (1997).In 2002, Gabor was reported to be in a coma in a Los Angeles hospital after a horrifying car accident. The 85-year-old star was injured when the car she was traveling in hit a utility pole in West Hollywood, California. The reports about her coma eventually proved to be inaccurate.Zsa Zsa's life, spanning two continents, nine husbands, and 11 decades, came to an end on December 18, 2016, when she died of cardiac arrest in Los Angeles, California. She was 99.

The legitimacy of this title is strongly questioned by many royal genealogists.Had a very public romance with Porfirio Rubirosa while married to George Sanders. Rubirosa returned to Gabor after divorcing Barbara Hutton, just 53 days after their wedding. In 1954 Gabor sported an eye patch, telling the press that Rubirosa had hit her in a fit of jealous rage.Arrived in Hollywood in 1941 with a letter of introduction to Basil Rathbone and his wife Ouida Berg��re, who granted her admittance into the upper echelons of Hollywood society.Inducted into the B-Movie Hall of Fame on 10/26/04.She and Joanne Dru worked together on 3 Ring Circus (1954) but did not like each other and clashed often.

Gabor later told The Washington Post it was actually Josip Broz Tito and that she'd gravely misspoken when she said Hitler's name by mistake. (June 20, 1941)She claimed she never consummated her marriage with Burhan Belge (sometimes spelled Belze), press director for the foreign ministry of Turkey, and claimed to have lost her virginity variously to either Willy Schmidt-Gentner or Mustafa Kemal Atat��rk.
