With her love of diamonds and pearls, Zsa Zsa Gabor was a symbol of stardom and was essentially a precursor to modern-day celebrities like Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. The tabloids and the public couldn't keep their eyes off of her.
On December 18, 2016, the actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor passed away from a heart attack in her Bel-Air home in Los Angeles at age 99.
In addition to having various film appearances, she was known for her glamor and celebrity.
Gabor lived a life full of fame and divorces. Her list of nine spouses includes a Turkish diplomat, an hotelier, an actor, an investment banker, the designer of Barbie dolls, an attorney, and an entrepreneur.
During a time when women had many fewer opportunities than they do now, Gabor was a woman who relished in the choices she made for her romantic life and her career as a full-time celebrity.
Born in Budapest, Hungary on February 6, 1917, she won a beauty pageant and was crowned Miss Hungary in 1936 and thus began her stage career. In 1941, she hopped on a ship to the United States and began pursuing a Hollywood career. Zsa Zsa appeared in films such as Moulin Rouge (1952) and We’re Not Married! (1952).
As seen in her famous one-liners about love and marriage, she was unapologetic and confident in her desires as a woman. Her femininity was a careful mix of a love of marriage and an eye for class.
She flaunted her celebrity status, and she knew what she wanted. With her unapologetic attitude and her long resume in divorce and marriage, she had some strong and sassy views about love.
