Blonde Bombshell Zsa Zsa Gabor

Celebrating one of the blondes that DIY! It's the indomitable Hungarian actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor who lived an impressive 99 years! Writing a page on Zsa Zsa Gabor was a natural for me as I have several other lenses with a Hungarian flavor and more pages with the Eastern European flavor.

So, why not profile one of the more well-known actresses and socialites that was born in Budapest, Hungary! Say hello to the former Hungarian hottie, Zsa Zsa Gabor. This is one actress who has had more than one fifteen minutes of fame!

Wow -- Zsa Zsa Gabor -- That Hungarian actress and socialite! In her time, she was a curvaceous hottie with an accent and an attitude! You know, my cousin Mary Ann has actually called me "Zsa Zsa" from time to time. While I'm not as old as Zsa Zsa, I think this is meant to be a compliment. Might as well write a page on her, right?

Check out the photo gallery on this blonde bombshell.

Zsa Zsa Gabor in a Nutshell
Hungarian-born American actress and socialite! Zsa Zsa Gabor was born Sári Gábor on February 6, 1917 and died on December 18, 2016 in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, California. Zsa Zsa began her stage career at 15 in Vienna, Austria. In 1936, she was crowned Miss Hungary. She emigrated to the United States in 1941. Soon her acting career began to flourish and she became a sought-after actress. She was recognized for her "European flair and style" along with a personality that was often said to "exuded charm and grace."

Her first movie role was as supporting actress in "Lovely to Look At." She later acted in "We're Not Married!" and played one of her few leading roles in 1952's "Moulin Rouge." The famous director John Huston described her as a "creditable" actress.

Although Zsa Zsa Gabor made many film and television appearances, she is probably better known for having nine husbands, including hotel magnate Conrad Hilton and actor George Sanders.

Zsa Zsa Gábor was the second of three daughters. She was born Sári Gábor in Budapest, daughter of Jolie Gabor (née Tilleman), a manager, and Vilmos Gábor, a soldier.

She had two sisters, Magda and Éva, actresses and socialites. Gabor's mother was born Jewish and was related to Annette Tillemann, the wife of politician Tom Lantos. Gabor was named after the then top Hungarian actress Sári Fedák, also called Zsa Zsa because her daughter couldn't pronounce the name Sári.

I think this bit of info is truly amazing! Zsa Zsa Gabor has been married nine times. She was divorced seven times, and one marriage was annulled. Her husbands, in chronological order, are:

Burhan Belge (1937 - 1941) (divorced)
Conrad Hilton (10 April 1942 - 1947) (divorced)
George Sanders (2 April 1949 - 2 April 1954) (divorced)

Michael O'Hara (27 August 1976 - 1982) (divorced)
Felipe de Alba (13 April 1983 - 14 April 1983) (annulled)
