Undoubtedly the woman who had come to epitomize what we recognize today as "celebrity", Zsa Zsa Gabor, is better known for her many marriages, personal appearances, her "dahlink" catchphrase, her actions, life gossip, and quotations on men, rather than her film career. Zsa Zsa Gabor was born Sári Gabor in Budapest, Hungary, to 'Jolie Gabor' . In 2002, Gabor was reported to be in a coma in a Los Angeles hospital after a horrifying car accident. The 85-year-old star was injured when the car she was traveling in hit a utility pole in West Hollywood, California. The reports about her coma, eventually proved to be inaccurate.

On June 14, 1989, she was arrested for slapping a police officer, Paul Kramer, in Beverly Hills, California.

Being jealous of a beautiful woman is not going to make you more,beautiful.

You never really know a man until you have divorced him.
When you are married to an actor, you feel you are nothing but an,understudy to him. He only has eyes for himself. It is really the one,situation I know of where, with just two people you have a triangle.
The best way to attract a man immediately is to have a magnificent bosom,and a half-size brain and let both of them show.
Man 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.

My advice is not always so logical and consistent. But then, love is not logical and consistent. So why should my advice be? If you want that kind of thinking, go to a computer. Computers are always logical and consistent, and you see how often they get proposed to.
To be loved is a strength. To love is a weakness.
All my life, I have been a positive thinker. . . I have always been able to survive by telling myself that no matter how bad things are, they will one day be better. And that out of every event - no matter how tragic - one can always find a way to survive and even, perhaps, to be a little bit happy.
Of course I love being in love - but it is marriage that really fulfills me. But not in every case.
Macho does not prove mucho.
I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.
