States during World War Two and made her
Hollywood debut in 1952.
She appeared in more than 70 films, but was
more famous for her celebrity lifestyle.
She was married nine times - taking her first
husband at the age of 20 and wedding for the
last time when she was nearly 70.
Choking back sobs, her husband Frederic von
Anhalt told the AFP news agency that Gabor
had passed away at home, surrounded by her
friends and family.
"Everybody was there. She didn't die alone," he
said.
Obituary: Zsa Zsa Gabor
Born Sari Gabor in Budapest on 6 February
1917, the future starlet was immediately
nicknamed Zsa Zsa by her family.
Though she had initially wanted to be a vet, her
mother had other ideas - and her beauty soon
saw show business beckon.
Gabor was crowned Miss Hungary in 1936, but
was later disqualified for lying about her age to
enter the pageant.
Her resume includes a long list of film roles in
such hit films as Moulin Rouge, Lili and
Arriverderci Baby.
Her only child was Constance Francesca Hilton,
her daughter with hotel magnate Conrad Hilton,
who was born in 1947.
Gabor was plagued by ill-health in her later
years, and was left wheelchair-bound after a
2002 car accident in Sunset Boulevard in Los
Angeles.
In 2011, she suffered an infection that saw her
right leg was amputated above the knee to
save her life.
