Zsa Zsa Gabor, Actress Famous for Her Glamour (and Her Marriages), Dies at 99

Zsa Zsa Gabor, the Hungarian actress whose self-parodying glamour and revolving-door marriages to millionaires put a luster of American celebrity on a long but only modestly successful career in movies and television, died on Sunday in Los Angeles. She was 99.

Her career, which began with the title Miss Hungary in 1936, was still going strong in the 1990s, outlasting those of her sisters, Eva and Magda, celebrities in their own right. She was the last surviving Gabor sister.

RIP to the last surviving Gabor sister. Interestingly enough, I think that she and her sisters were Republicans. Not surprising since they escaped from Hungary so they knew how bad Eastern European dictatorships were and how much better they had it here in America.

Here’s a clip of her as Minerva in the final episode of Batman:

All three of the Gabor sisters were stunning beauties in their day.

99... that’s a damn good run.

RIP, Zsa Zsa...

I didn’t know there was a third one. I had only heard of Eva and Zsa Zsa.

I believe her name was Magdalna. Magda for short. She was the oldest, died in 1997.
