Zsa Zsa Gabor...hospitalzied for pneumonia! Feisty screen siren is tough!









Screen legend - Zsa Zsa Gabor - was rushed to the hospital yesterday when her personal physician determined that the feisty star was stricken with a serious bout of pneumonia.

According to the latest update from one of Ms. Gabor's handlers, the ailing film star has been having trouble breathing because of fluid in her lungs.

Apparently, the prognosis for recovery is poor, as medical staff engage in an all-out effort to literally save the screen siren's life.

In recent months, Ms. Gabor suffered through major health problems, which resulted in at least one surgery and the amputation of one leg.

The actress - famous for being famous - is the second oldest of three Gabor sisters.

One sister - Eva Gabor - was well-known to American audiences for a role she played in a popular TV sitcom (Green Acres) and for being a close friend and confidante of legendary talk-show host Merv Griffin.

Although it alleged that Eva and Merv were lovers, later the truth was revealed that Griffin was actually gay, and that Ms. Gabor was basically a "beard".

I met Zsa Zsa - a Hungarian-born actress - briefly on the set of Naked Gun 2 1/2 a few years ago.

In that off-the-wall big-budget comedy feature, Gabor took a poke at herself in a small cameo role.

I found Ms. Gabor to be charming and gracious.

Gabor was once married to Conrad Hilton and the union produced one daughter.

The flamboyant actress received acclaim for a role she played many years ago in John Huston's film bio of Toulouse-Lautrec titled "Moulin Rouge".

Gabor also landed a part in Orson Welles' classic "Touch of Evil".

By the way, tomorrow is the anniversary of Orson Welles' birthday (May 6th).

Mine, too!

On the heels of the sad news, fans of Ms. Gabor are optimistic - no doubt - that she will once again pull through.

Get well soon, Zsa Zsa!

Zsa Zsa Gabor...daughter cries foul over fake Prince's treatment of ailing star!

 
 
Francesca in happier days!




For a while now, it's been common knowledge that Zsa Zsa Gabor's daughter - Francesca (sired by Conrad Hilton) - has been cast out (banned from visiting her mother at the upscale Bel Air Estate) ever since the aging sexpot was inclined to tie-the-knot with Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt (a fake European Royal).

In recent days, Francesca - a lesser-beauty who can't hold a candle to the other blond bombshells in family circles (a black sheep in the genes department, too, eh?) - has been crying foul to friends and business associates over Anhalt's alleged misconduct.

In particular, Zsa Zsa's lone child has been scandalized by the fact that the "Prince" may have neglected her mother - so much so - that his careless caretaker duties have negatively impacted Gabor's overall health and well-being.

For starters, Francesca has wondered aloud about the celebrated star's emergency visits to the hospital, among other things.

"Why was it necessary to have her leg amputated," she lamented far-and-wide to all within earshot in the aftermath.

Zsa Zsa's estranged daughter has also criticized von Anhalt for neglecting her mother's appearance on a handful of occasions he's allowed the usually-bed-ridden Superstar to saunter out-of-doors.

"My mother always wore make-up. And, her hair was always kept up," she spouted off angrily in so many words on a TV Tabloid news show this past week.

In recent weeks, pitiful publicity shots have depicted Zsa Zsa as a tired old woman, who appears to be on death's bed as a result.

Indeed!

How difficult is it to apply a dollop of lipstick or affix a well-coiffed wig to a once-pretty head?

Personally, I was quite disturbed when it was revealed that Zsa Zsa's husband allegedly gave the go-ahead for the actress's leg to be amputated, without securing her approval (or at least informing her) first.

For a former beauty - who took pride in her appearance - it must have been quite a blow to arrive home from the hospital sans a leg.

Of course, I am not familiar with all the pertinent details, so I can't pass judgment in the final analysis.

After all, if Ms. Gabor was unconscious - and a decision was needed in an emergency situation - then the action on the part of the Prince was understandable.

Don't 'ya think?

Especially, in the event he was granted the power of attorney!

But, the tongues are still wagging, nonetheless.

Recent plans to put the tony estate on the market must have set off warning bells in poor little Francesca's corner of the world I expect.

Will she be cut out of the will, too?

Zsa Zsa Gabor...Happy Birthday! Hospital bed to Bel Air estate!





Fans of legendary sex Goddess - Zsa Zsa Gabor - will be thrilled to hear that the aging celebrity has recovered from a lung infection and heading home from the hospital to her Bel Air estate to celebrate her birthday.

Ms. Gabor needs those healthy lungs if she intends to blow out the 94 candles on the top of what is expected to be a mouth-watering many-tiered fancy birthday cake.

The Hungarian-born actress appeared in more than 30 movies over the course of her long career - but it is remembered best for her stand-out performance in the classic flick - Moulin Rouge.

There were also campy stints on Batman - a TV hit - in the 60's.

Ms. Gabor was a perennial guest on the Merv Griffen show - often with her two dazzling sisters in tow (Eva & Magda) - which prompted many critics to snidely remark that the trio were simply famous for being famous.

That was many moons before Paris Hilton earned that reputation in recent years!

Judging by all the hits on the Internet today, Zsa Zsa is still a curiosity to the teaming masses around the globe.

Happy Birthday Zsa Zsa!
