Zsa Zsa Gabor Dead at 99

Zsa Zsa Gabor died on Sunday, December 18. She was 99, and had persevered despite years of health setbacks.

The title of Gabor's 1991 memoir said it all about the jet-set lover of Frank Sinatra, President Richard Nixon, and a few more: "One Lifetime Is Not Enough."

Gabor lived the posh life in the Bel Air section of L.A. She had a catchphrase — "darling," pronounced "dah-ling." She married well, and she married a lot — she had eight (or nine) husbands by popular estimate, including Conrad Hilton, the hotel magnate and great-grandfather of Paris Hilton. Above all, she invented herself.

“They have always lived with no reality,” gossip maven Cindy Adams said of Gabor and her headline-friendly family in Vanity Fair. “There was never any truth to anything.”

Gabor is reported to have been born February 6, 1917, in Hungary, and crowned a beauty queen, Miss Hungary, as a teenager.
