*The legendary Zsa Zsa Gabor has died. As the last surviving Gabor sister, she had been in declining health after being seriously injured in 2002 when the Rolls-Royce convertible in which she was riding, with her hairdresser at the wheel, jumped a curb on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood and struck a light pole.
The accident left Gabor partially paralyzed.
Gabor had been in and out of the hospital since breaking her hip in 2010 and having most of her right leg amputated in early 2011 after developing an infection following hip-replacement surgery.
Although her personal life grabbed the headlines, Gabor did build an acting career. One of her finest film roles came early in her career when she portrayed Henri Toulouse-Lautrec’s model in 1952’s “Moulin Rouge.” In directing her, John Huston reportedly said: “Zsa Zsa, forget about acting. Just make love to the camera.”
Gabor later told a biographer: “Now, I knew very little about acting but a great deal about making love. It worked.”
The native of Hungary was also an adept marketer as she turned her celebrity into a commodity, mining her own reputation for one-liners.
“I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house,” she might say, or “There is nothing wrong with a woman encouraging a man’s advances, as long as they are in cash.”
According to her publicist, Edward Lozzi, Gabor died Sunday of heart failure in her Bel Air mansion. She was 99.

On Saturday, President-elect Donald Trump responded to Michelle Obama‘s statement that the country currently doesn’t feel it has hope.
“We have tremendous hope, and we have tremendous promise and tremendous potential,” Trump said in Mobile, Ala., on the final stop of his “thank you” tour.
“And I actually think she made that statement not meaning it the way it came out,” Trump also said.
Trump noted that he met with President Obama and Michelle Obama following his Nov. 8 victory, saying of the first lady, “She could not have been nicer.”
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this week, the First Lady said that the Obama administration achieved the hope it promised during the campaign.
“Because we feel the difference now,” she said. “See, now, we’re feeling what not having hope feels like.”
