Sadly this week Hollywood lost a legend. Zsa Zsa Gabor died at her home at the age of 99. Zsa Zsa was the very first person famous for being famous. She paved the way for the Kardashians and oddly fro Paris Hilton. She has a connection to Paris as she was once married to Conrad Hilton the scion of the Hilton clan. Conrad was the father of Zsa Zsa's only child. Zsa Zsa along with her sisters Eva and Magda as well as her mother Jolie took 195o's Hollywood by storm. Both Zsa Zsa and Eva had acting careers whereas Magda became a society figure. They were all push and supported by their mother Jolie who had aspirations to be an actress but settled on becoming as famous mother not unlike Kris Kardashian.
Zsa Zsa was the most famous and most outrageous member of the clan. Her acting roles will never be remembered for their artistry but did propel her to a level of fame that most people could never imagine.
Zsa Zsa was famous for her glamour and marriages but if it hadn't been for her sense of humor and quick wit she would have been just a blip on the fame radar that faded fast. Always a favorite guest on chat shows like The Tonight Show, The Merv Griffen Show and The Mike Douglas Show. She was agreat guest because you never knew what she would say next. In her 60's Zsa Zsa may have pulled off her biggest and most outrageous stunt when she was pulled over in Beverly Hills for an expired registration on her Rolls Royce and did the thing everyone would love to do. She slapped a cop. This case went to trial (pre-dating OJ) and became a media sensation. She did end up spending time (72 hours) in jail and used her lock up and release as a press event.
We will all miss Zsa Zsa and as her cousin from Hungry said, "When Zsa Zsa left the party was over".
