I read a memoir of another Hungarian Jewish family who knew the Gabors when they were all marking time in Lisbon trying to get to the U.S. The more academic sort of refugees, displaced scientists and so on, looked down on them.

You can just imagine Mama Gabor going around the embassies saying, in that famous accent, “My daughters, Your Excellency ... zey haz ... ze great tractz ov land!”
