Wow -- Zsa Zsa Gabor -- That Hungarian actress and socialite! In her time, she was a curvaceous hottie with an accent and an attitude!
Writing a lens on Zsa Zsa Gabor was a "natural" for me as I have several other lenses with a "Hungarian" flavor and more lenses with the "Eastern European" flavor! So, why not profile one of the more well-known actresses and socialites that was born in Budapest, Hungary!

Did you know ... about Zsa Zsa Gabor
Wow! Zsa Zsa Gabor was a babe in her day!
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)
Herbert Hutner (5 November 1962 - 3 March 1966) (divorced)
Joshua S. Cosden, Jr. (9 March 1966 - 18 October 1967) (divorced)
Jack Ryan (21 January 1975 - 1976) (divorced)
Michael O'Hara (27 August 1976 - 1982) (divorced)
Felipe de Alba (13 April 1983 - 14 April 1983) (annulled)
Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt (from 14 August 1986. Her longest-running marriage)

- Interesting...my daughter's middle name is Sari, and here I find it was also Zsa Zsa's name, and that of a Hungarian actress. That explains my daughter's theatrical flair.
