She Was the Talk of Old Hollywood: The Glamorous Zsa Zsa Gabor

Three Perfect Girls

On February 16, 1917, Zsa Zsa Gabor was born in Budapest, Hungary, when it was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Zsa Zsa was the middle of three daughters, but all the girls were exquisitely beautiful and celebrities in their own right.

Gabor began her on-stage career in Vienna and, in 1936, she was crowned Miss Hungary. By 1941, she emigrated to the United States. Her older sister, Magda, was an American socialite, and her younger sister, Eva, became almost as notorious of a celebrity as Zsa Zsa was.
