On February 6, 1917, Sari Gabor, better known as Zsa Zsa, was born in Budapest, Hungary. She was crowned Miss Hungary 1936. Zsa Zsa came to the United States with her two sisters, Eva and Magda, in search of movie stardom. However, rather than seek out acting jobs, she sought out wealth and jewels. Zsa Zsa's theory was that "any publicity is GOOD publicity". Married 9 times, her only daughter, Francesca Hilton, was from her marriage to hotel magnate, Conrad Hilton.
Officially known as an actress, she is more famous as an "old school celebrity sex symbol". Zsa Zsa's most famous "act" was from her arrest for slapping a police officer while being stopped for a traffic violation. She was found guilty, spent 3 days in jail, and had to pay over $13,000 in court costs. Aunt to Paris Hilton, Zsa Zsa is now 93 years old and suffering from complications of a stroke that she had in 2007.
In 2009, lawyers found that she may have lost as much as 10 million dollars with swindler Bernard Madoff thru third party investments.
Zsa Zsa's is noted for her many quotes which include:
"I am a marvelous house keeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house".
"Conrad Hilton was very generous to me in the divorce settlement. He gave me 5,000 Gideon Bibles".
"Husbands are like fires. They go out when unattended".

I like her housekeeper quote. though I could never tell her apart from her sister Eva.
I remember watching Zsa Zsa a lot on talk shows. Personally, I liked Eva a lot better lol. Great Z post something I would never have thought of.

You get double points for Zsa Zsa, great post.
Loved the quotes, she had a black belt in housekepeping, for sure!
There was no one like Zsa Zsa - except perhaps,her sisters. They were outrageous and gorgeous!
What a nice finale to the Alphabet Thursday blogs. I have enjoyed all of them. You are always so clever and unique. You are one of a kind in my book. TL
Great post for Z and very interesting and informative. I enjoyed this.
QMM
i always think of her as the cop slapper LOL :D
Delightful way to round up the Alphabet posts. Zsa Zsa is in a class all by herself. Sea Witch
Very interesting reading about Zsa Zsa! She's one of a kind. Happy Z day to you!
I remember watching Zsa Zsa waft around the farmhouse in her elegant gowns on Green Acres. Haven't thought of that in years - this is a great post.
It's been fun reading through the alphabet with you.
Hope your summer is going well.
Green Acres was one of my favorite shows for years, but I think it was Eva who was in it with Eddie Albert? I might be wrong, guess I'll go ask Google.
Gotta love Eddie Albert too!
I haven't thought about Zsa Zsa in a long time. I guess it's been years since I last saw her on television. She was quite a character and I was sorry to hear about her stroke. I didn't realize she was Paris Hilton's aunt.
Fun and interesting post on Zsa-Zsa! Thanks for sharing.
oh this was a clever topic Jacque! completely enjoyable!
Well, happy Z day :)
Oh what a great choice...LOL
She has always been a fav...
A terrific ending to 26 weeks of fun!
hope you can visit my z when you have time :)
