Zsa Zsa Gabor

Zsa Zsa Gabor

Zsa Zsa Gabor's active role in Hollywood was winding down when I was born, but I've seen lots of clips of the actress during my lifetime, including audio of her trademark Dahhling, the name the Hungarian-born Gabor called most people she spoke to during interviews.

Born in 1917, Zsa Zsa Gabor has been married nine times (although one, to Felipe de Alba, lasted only a day and was annulled). Conrad Hilton was Zsa Zsa's second husband (1942-1946) and the father of her only child, Constance 'Francesca' Hilton.

In July, 2010, 93-year-old Zsa Zsa fell at her Los Angeles home, and Gabor may have asked for last rites from a priest on August 15. She rallied, but was later back in the hospital to endure a leg amputation. Zsa Zsa was home again on March 23, 2011, when she heard that her friend, Elizabeth Taylor, had died. Zsa Zsa's blood pressure shot up from hearing the news and she was returned to the hospital. Her health continues to decline and she returned to the hospital in early October, 2011.

This gallery takes a look back at Zsa Zsa's jewelry style -- it's safe to say that diamonds and pearls ruled.
