'''Eva Gabor''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|eɪ|v|ə|_|ɡ|ə|ˈ|b|ɔr|,_|-|_|ˈ|ɡ|ɑː|b|ɔr}} {{respell|AY|və|_|gə|BOR|,_-_|GAH|bor}}; February 11, 1919 – July 4, 1995) was a Hungarian-American actress and socialite. Gabor voiced Duchess and Miss Bianca in the Disney animations ''[[The Aristocats]]'' (1970), ''[[The Rescuers]]'' (1977), and ''[[The Rescuers Down Under]]'' (1990). She was popular in her role on the 1965–1971 television sitcom ''[[Green Acres]]'' as [[Lisa Douglas]], the wife of [[Eddie Albert]]'s character [[Oliver Wendell Douglas]]. Gabor was an actress in film, on Broadway, and on television. She was also a businesswoman, marketing wigs, clothing, and beauty products. Her elder sisters, [[Zsa Zsa Gabor|Zsa Zsa]] and [[Magda Gabor]], were also actresses and socialites.

==Early life==
Gabor was born in [[Budapest]], Hungary, the youngest of three daughters of Vilmos Gábor, a soldier, and his wife, trained [[jeweler]] [[Jolie Gabor|Jolie]] (born Janka Tilleman). Her parents were both from [[Hungarian Jewish]] families.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/social-diary/2010/reflecting-on-the-life-of-zsa-zsa-gabor |title=Reflecting on the life of Zsa Zsa Gabor |website=[[New York Social Diary]] |access-date=July 16, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161222121348/http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/social-diary/2010/reflecting-on-the-life-of-zsa-zsa-gabor |archive-date=December 22, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.jewishtampa.com/jews-in-the-news/jews-in-the-news-bonni-tischler-steven-spielberg-vilmos-gabor |title=Jews in the News: Bonni Tischler, Steven Spielberg and Vilmos Gabor |website=Tampa Jewish Federation |date=July 11, 2016 |access-date=July 16, 2016 |archive-date=October 5, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161005230829/https://www.jewishtampa.com/jews-in-the-news/jews-in-the-news-bonni-tischler-steven-spielberg-vilmos-gabor |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Bennetts |first=Leslie |url=http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2007/10/zsazsa200710 |title=It's a Mad, Mad, Zsa Zsa World |magazine=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]] |date=September 6, 2007 |access-date=July 16, 2016 |archive-date=February 6, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150206114244/http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2007/10/zsazsa200710 |url-status=live }}</ref> She was the first of the sisters to immigrate to the U.S., shortly after her first marriage to a Swedish [[osteopath]], Dr. Eric Drimmer, whom she married in 1937 when she was 18 years old.<ref name="Gabor sisters">{{cite news |url=https://newspaperarchive.com/us/texas/san-antonio/san-antonio-light/1948/02-29/page-62?tag=sari+hilton&rtserp=tags%2F%3Fpep%3Dsari-hilton |title=Those Gabor Girls |newspaper=[[The American Weekly]]; [[San Antonio Express-News|San Antonio Light]] |date=February 29, 1948 |access-date=May 28, 2016 |last=Johnson |first=Irving |page=62 |archive-date=June 10, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160610085509/http://newspaperarchive.com/us/texas/san-antonio/san-antonio-light/1948/02-29/page-62?tag=sari+hilton&rtserp=tags%2F%3Fpep%3Dsari-hilton |url-status=live}}</ref>

==Early career==
Her first movie role was in the U.S. in 1941's ''[[Forced Landing (1941 film)|Forced Landing]]'' at [[Paramount Pictures]]. During the 1950s, she appeared in several feature films, including ''[[The Last Time I Saw Paris]]'', starring [[Elizabeth Taylor]]; and ''[[Artists and Models]],'' which featured [[Dean Martin]] and [[Jerry Lewis]]. These roles were [[bit part]]s. In 1953, she was given her own television talk show, ''[[The Eva Gabor Show]]'', which ran for one season (1953–54). Through the rest of the 1950s and early 1960s she appeared on television and in movies. She appeared in one episode of the mystery series ''[[Justice (1954 TV series)|Justice]]'' and was on the game show ''[[What's My Line?]]'' as the "mystery challenger." Her film appearances during this era included a remake of ''[[My Man Godfrey (1957 film)|My Man Godfrey]]'', ''[[Gigi (1958 film)|Gigi]]'', and ''[[It Started with a Kiss (film)|It Started with a Kiss]].''

==''Green Acres''==
[[File: Eddie Albert Eva Gabor Green Acres 1965.JPG|thumb|right|upright|Gabor (right) on the set of ''[[Green Acres]]'' with [[Eddie Albert]] (left), August 1965]]
In 1965, Gabor got the role of [[Lisa Douglas]], whose attorney husband [[Oliver Wendell Douglas]] ([[Eddie Albert]]) decides to leave the "[[rat race]]" of city life. He buys a farm in a rural community, forcing Lisa to leave her beloved big-city urban life. The [[Paul Henning]] sitcom ''[[Green Acres]]'' aired on [[CBS]]. ''Green Acres'' was set in [[Hooterville]], the same backdrop for ''[[Petticoat Junction]]'' (1963–70), and would occasionally cross over with its [[sister show|sister sitcom]]. Despite proving to be a ratings hit, staying in the top 20 for its first four seasons, ''Green Acres'', along with another sister show, ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies]]'', was cancelled in 1971 in the CBS network's "[[rural purge]]" — a policy to get rid of the network's rural-based television shows.

In 1966, Eva Gabor and [[Johnny Carson]] played ''[[Twister (game)|Twister]]'' on ''[[The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Belvedere |first=Matthew J. |date=2016-05-04 |title=The surprising story of how Johnny Carson saved Twister |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/04/the-surprising-story-of-how-johnny-carson-saved-twister.html |access-date=2023-12-19 |website=[[CNBC]] |language=en |archive-date=December 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231216081409/https://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/04/the-surprising-story-of-how-johnny-carson-saved-twister.html |url-status=live }}</ref><!--   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5691388/ --><ref>{{cite web |date=2023-06-01 |title=How Johnny Carson Saved Twister |url=https://www.history.com/news/how-johnny-carson-saved-twister |access-date=2023-12-19 |website=[[History Channel|History]] |language=en |archive-date=December 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231216081409/https://www.history.com/news/how-johnny-carson-saved-twister |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Twister |url=https://www.museumofplay.org/toys/twister/ |access-date=2023-12-19 |website=The Strong National Museum of Play |language=en-US |archive-date=December 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231216081409/https://www.museumofplay.org/toys/twister/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Later career==
[[File:Eva Gabor.jpg|thumb|right|upright|]]
In 1972, Gabor launched her eponymous fashion collection with [[Luis Estévez]], a Cuban-born American fashion designer.<ref>{{cite news| first=Marian| last=Christy| title=Mama Gabor: Ageless Mother of 3| newspaper=[[The Newport Daily News]]| date=February 17, 1975}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=McDowell's Directory of Twentieth Century Fashion |first=Colin |last=McDowell |url=https://archive.org/details/mcdowellsdirecto0000mcdo/page/136/mode/2up?q=gabor |publisher=Muller |location=London |year=1984 |page=137 |isbn=978-0-5841-1167-5 |quote=In 1968, he moved to California, where in 1972, he designed collections for Eva Gabor to sell under her name.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/hispanicdesigners/estevez/section.htm |title=Hispanic Designers: Luis Estevez |access-date=February 2, 2025 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120119192636/http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/hispanicdesigners/estevez/section.htm |archive-date=January 19, 2012 |website=[[National Museum of American History]]}}</ref>

Gabor later did voice-over work for [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] movies, providing the European-accented voices of Duchess in ''[[The Aristocats]]'', and Miss Bianca in ''[[The Rescuers]]'' and ''[[The Rescuers Down Under]]'', as well as the Queen of Time in the [[Sanrio]] film ''[[Nutcracker Fantasy]]''. She was a panelist on the [[Gene Rayburn]]-hosted ''[[Match Game]]''. From 1983 to 1984, she was on the ''[[Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour]]'' starring Gene Rayburn and Jon Bauman.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pixiepranks-panstinkerbell.blogspot.com/2012/07/every-disney-hero-has-voice-eva-gabor.html |title=Pixie Pranks and Disney Fun: Every Disney Hero Has a Voice ~ Eva Gabor Duchess & Bianca |last=Pixie |first=Pranking |date=July 4, 2012 |website=Pixie Pranks and Disney Fun |access-date=February 9, 2018 |archive-date=February 10, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180210002259/http://pixiepranks-panstinkerbell.blogspot.com/2012/07/every-disney-hero-has-voice-eva-gabor.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

Eva appeared as Aunt Renee in the fourth season of “[[Hart to Hart]]”, and in 1983, she reunited with [[Eddie Albert]] on Broadway as the Grand Duchess Olga Katrina in ''[[You Can't Take It with You (play)|You Can't Take It with You]]''. In 1990, she attempted a TV series comeback in the CBS sitcom pilot ''Close Encounters''; the pilot aired as a special that summer, but did not make it to series status. She toured post-communist Hungary after a 40-year absence on an episode of ''[[Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous]]''.

==Personal life==
Eva Gabor was married five times. She had no biological children:

They wed in London on June 3, 1937, and divorced in Los Angeles, on February 25, 1942 (the divorce was finalized on March 6); Gabor claimed cruelty, saying, "I wanted to have babies and lead a simple family life but my husband objected to me having children".<ref>"Eva Gabor Obtains Divorce".
