'''Zsa Zsa Gabor''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|ʒ|ɑː|ʒ|ɑː|_|ˈ|g|ɑː|b|ɔr|,_|-|_|g|ə|ˈ|b|ɔr}} {{respell|ZHAH|zhah|_|GAH|bor|,_-_|gə|BOR}}, {{IPA|hu|ˈɡaːbor ˈʒɒʒɒ|lang}}; born '''Sári Gábor''' {{IPA|hu|ˈɡaːbor ˈʃaːri|}}; February 6, 1917&nbsp;– December 18, 2016) was a [[Hungarian Americans|Hungarian-American]] socialite and actress. Her sisters were socialites and actresses [[Eva Gabor]] and [[Magda Gabor]].

Gabor competed in the 1933 [[Miss Hungary]] pageant, where she placed as second runner-up, and began her stage career in [[Vienna]] the following year.<ref name=Staggs>[https://books.google.com/books?id=cPeiDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA48 Staggs (2019), pp. 48–52]</ref> She emigrated from [[Hungary]] to the [[United States]] in 1941, and became a sought-after actress with "European flair and style." She was considered to have a personality that "exuded charm and grace".<ref>Barris, George. ''Barris Cars of the Stars'', MBI Publishing (2008), p. 71</ref> Her first film role was a supporting role in ''[[Lovely to Look At]]'', released in 1952. The same year, she appeared in ''[[We're Not Married!]]'', and played one of her few leading roles in ''[[Moulin Rouge (1952 film)|Moulin Rouge]]'', directed by [[John Huston]]. Huston later described Gabor as a "creditable" actress.<ref>Huston, John. ''John Huston: Interviews'', Univ. Press of Mississippi (2001), p. 11</ref>

Outside her acting career, Gabor was known for her extravagant [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]] lifestyle, her glamorous personality, and her many marriages. In total, Gabor had nine husbands, including hotel magnate [[Conrad Hilton]] and actor [[George Sanders]]. She once stated, "Men have always liked me and I have always liked men. But I like a mannish man, a man who knows how to talk to and treat a woman—not just a man with muscles."<ref>"Love Hints from Zsa Zsa", ''Life Magazine'', October 15, 1951 (cover story).</ref>

Gabor was named after [[Sári Fedák]], an actress. Gabor was called ZsaZsa because, as a little girl, she couldn't pronounce her own name.<!-- https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A1bor_Zsazsa -->

In 1941, Gabor left [[Kingdom of Hungary (1920-1946)|Hungary]] for the [[United States]]. During a layover at [[Eppley Airfield]] in [[Omaha, Nebraska]] en route to [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]], she made headlines by telling the [[Associated Press]] that she had danced with [[Adolf Hitler]] twice.<ref>''The Tampa Tribune''.

In January 1933, following her time as a student at a Swiss boarding school, Gabor placed second runner-up in the fifth [[Miss Hungary]] pageant, behind Lilly Radó and crown winner Júlia Gál.<ref name="Staggs"/> On August 31, 1934, she sang the [[soubrette]] role in [[Richard Tauber]]'s [[operetta]], ''Der singende Traum'' (''The Singing Dream''), at the [[Theater an der Wien]] in [[Vienna]].<ref name="Staggs"/> This would mark her first stage appearance.

In 1944, she co-wrote a novel with writer [[Victoria Wolf]] entitled ''Every Man For Himself''. According to Gabor, the fictional story was derived, in small part, from Gabor's life experiences. The book was subsequently bought by an American magazine.<ref name="Novel">{{cite web|url=https://newspaperarchive.com/us/iowa/waterloo/waterloo-daily-courier/1944/02-23/page-8?tag=zsa+zsa+hilton&rtserp=tags/?pep=zsa-zsa-hilton|title=Zsa Zsa Hilton|publisher=Waterloo Daily Courier|date=February 23, 1944|access-date=May 28, 2016|author=Parsons, Louella|page=8}}</ref> In 1949, Gabor declined an offer to play the leading role in a film version of the classic book ''[[Lady Chatterley's Lover]]''. According to the ''Cedar Rapids Gazette'', she turned down the role of Lady Chatterley due to the story's controversial theme.<ref name="Chatterley">{{cite web|url=https://newspaperarchive.com/us/iowa/cedar-rapids/cedar-rapids-gazette/1949/11-28/page-22?tag=zsa+zsa+gabor&rtserp=tags/?pep=zsa-zsa-gabor&ndt=by&py=1940&pey=1949|title=Snapshots of Hollywood|publisher=Cedar Rapids Gazette|date=November 28, 1949|access-date=May 28, 2016|author=Parsons, Louella|page=22}}</ref>

Her more serious film acting credits include ''[[Moulin Rouge (1952 film)|Moulin Rouge]]'', ''[[Lovely to Look At]]'', and ''[[We're Not Married!]]'', all from 1952, and 1953's ''[[Lili (1953 film)|Lili]]''. In 1958, she ran the gamut of moviemaking, from ''[[Touch of Evil]]'' to the camp oddity ''[[Queen of Outer Space]]''. Later, she appeared in such films as ''[[Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood]]'' (1976) and ''[[Frankenstein's Great Aunt Tillie]]'' (1984). She did cameos for ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors]]'' (1987), ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies (film)|The Beverly Hillbillies]]'' (1993), and ''A Very Brady Sequel'' (1996), as well as voicing a character in the animated ''[[Happily Ever After (1989 film)|Happily Ever After]]'' (1989).{{Citation needed|date=November 2017}}

Author [[Gerold Frank]], who helped Gabor write her autobiography in 1960, described his impressions of her:

{{blockquote|Zsa Zsa is unique. She's a woman from the court of [[Louis XV of France|Louis XV]] who has somehow managed to live in the 20th century, undamaged by the [[Parent Teacher Association|PTA]]&nbsp;... She says she wants to be all the [[Madame de Pompadour|Pompadours]] and [[Madame du Barry|Du Barrys]] of history rolled into one, but she also says, "I always goof. I pay all my own bills.&nbsp;... I want to choose the man. I do not permit men to choose me."<ref>"Ghost", ''Life Magazine'', June 29, 1959, pp. 129–39</ref>}}

In his autobiography, television host [[Merv Griffin]], who was known to spend time with Gabor's younger sister Eva socially, wrote of the Gabor sisters' arrival in New York and Hollywood: 
{{blockquote|
All these years later, it's hard to describe the phenomenon of the three glamorous Gabor girls and their ubiquitous mother. They burst onto the [[Society reporting|society pages]] and into the gossip columns so suddenly, and with such force, it was as if they'd been dropped out of the sky.<ref>Griffin, Merv. ''Merv: Making the Good Life Last'', Simon & Schuster (2003), p. 179; {{ISBN|0743456963}}</ref>
}}

In 1998, film historian [[Neal Gabler]] called her kind of celebrity "The Zsa Zsa Factor".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/zsa-zsa-gabor-legendary-actress-and-socialite-dead-at-99/ |title=Zsa Zsa Gabor, famed actress and socialite, dead at 99 |work=CBSNews.com |date=December 18, 2016}}</ref>

==Personal life==
Gabor was married nine times. She was divorced seven times, and one marriage was [[annulment|annulled]]. She wrote in her autobiography,
{{blockquote|
All in all – I love being married ... I love the companionship, I love cooking for a man (simple things like chicken soup and my special Dracula's goulash from Hungary), and spending all my time with a man. Of course I love being in love – but it is marriage that really fulfills me. But not in every case.<ref name=foxnews />
