Hollywood legend Zsa Zsa Gabor dead at 99

December 19, 2016 08:30

Zsa Zsa Gabor, the Hungarian-born Hollywood siren perhaps better known for her prodigious love life than her movie credits, has died after suffering a heart attack, her husband said. She was 99.

An emotional Frederic von Anhalt told Agence France Press that Gabor had passed away at home surrounded by friends and family.

"Everybody was there. She didn't die alone," he told AFP by telephone, choking back sobs.

The pair married in 1986, making it her longest marriage.

Gabor, who in her heyday embodied the film industry's platinum blonde ideal, was a voluptuous former beauty queen with a penchant for lame gowns that accentuated her hourglass curves.

Her resume includes a long list of film roles in such hit movies as Moulin Rouge, Lili and Arriverderci Baby.
