Zsa Zsa Gabor Biography
Undoubtedly, the woman who became 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, life gossip and quotations on men, rather than her film career.

It is unclear as to Zsa Zsa's birthdate; sources vary from 1917 to 1919. Born in Budapest, Hungary, as Sari Gabor, she followed her sister Eva Gabor to Hollywood. A radiant, beautiful blonde, Zsa Zsa began appearing on television shows and doing the odd movie.

Her first film was at MGM in Lovely to Look at, co-starring Kathryn Grayson and Red Skelton. She next made a comedy called We're Not Married! at Twentieth Century Fox, with Ginger Rogers. It was far from a star billing for Zsa Zsa, appearing several names down the cast list as a supporting player.

It was 1952, however that saw her break into movies big time with her starring role opposite José Ferrer in Moulin Rouge, although it's been said that she was given a very hard time throughout the filming from director John Huston.

In the following years Zsa Zsa slipped back into supporting roles in films such as Lili and 3 Ring Circus. Her main period of film work was in the 1950s, with other roles in Death of a Scoundrel with Yvonne De Carlo and The Man Who Wouldn't Talk with Anna Neagle. Again, these were supporting roles. By the 1960s Zsa Zsa was appearing more as herself in the movies; she now appeared to follow her own persona around, and cameo appearances were the order of the day in films such as Pepe and Jack of Diamonds. This continued throughout the 1970s through

She was very memorable as herself in The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear, in which she humorously pokes fun at an incident in 1990 when she was convicted of slapping a police officer during a traffic dispute and spent several days in jail (such infamous incidents contributed to her becoming one of the most all-time recognizable of Hollywood celebrities in recent years and often ridiculed as a result_. She was also memorable to British television viewers on The Ruby Wax Show.

In 2002 she was reported to be in a coma in a Los Angeles hospital after a horrifying car accident. The 85-year-old Hungarian-born star was injured when the car she was traveling in hit a light pole in West Hollywood, California.
