"How many husbands have I had? You mean apart from my own?"
Zsa Zsa Gabor
(b. 1917)
Zsa Zsa Gabor has some great one-liners. Married ten times Zsa Zsa obviously has an appreciation for men. She also loves diamonds, furs and it seems poodles, Yorkshire terriers and Persian cats. She has that cartoon-like style of Hollywood glamour and a life of excess that never fails to amuse me. They don't make them like Zsa Zsa anymore.

Zsa Zsa looking for husband number eleven?

"I am a marvellous housekeeper.
Everytime I leave a man I keep his house"
"I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back"
"Conrad Hilton was very generous to me in the divorce settlement. He gave me five thousand Gideon bibles!"
(Not being at all religious I had to look up Gideon bibles. There's one in the drawer of every hotel room - she married a Hilton - Geddit?)
I know I've used this one before, but it's one of her best and I love it...
"I want a man who is kind and understanding.
Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?"

Fab pics, I would love to see inside one of her homes, I bet the decor is amazing!
Hi Christina! So over the top and fabulous! Loving the turquoise silk nightgown and the pink poodle.
It's peeing it down here, pub plans are cancelled. We're having a night in and conserving our energy for larging it tomorrow. Have a good one. xxx
Dear Becka, what a great idea for a post! I'm trying to find some now! Have a great weekend xx
Dear Vix, isn't it! I love it.
Yes same here. I'm in for the night. I've been to the restaurant I went to last weekend and got three boxes of gorgeous food to take out. That's me sorted. Have a lovely evening xx
Ah wonderful read and photos - how I love wit and glamour xx
Fabulous! Love the millionaire/housekeeping quotes. Do you think the pink poodle inspired Tim Walker?
The next time Tertarus leaves me fuming with anger, I shall recall the wise divorce/marriage words of Ms Gabor and keep my knife hand in my pocket.
AT least for the immediate future :-)
Great quotes once again!
love
Ali xxxx
In response to something I said the other day, Mr D said 'you just want t be Zsa Zsa Gabor, don't you'. I disn't know how to disagree.
Gideon bibles are also referenced in The Beatles song 'Rocky Racoon', one of my favourites :) x

That final comment cracks me up everytime. :) Love her attitude, I need to take a few lessons from her! x
My husband was friends with one of the Hilton's growing up. He has lots of interesting stories about his Summers at The Shamrock Hotel...Johnny Weissmuller (spelling?) the actor who played Tarzan hung out by the olympic sized pool.
what great, great quotes.
who knew?!
think i'll adopt more than a few for my own.
Zsa Zsa is a damn hoot. Great quotes and pictures!
So many posts to catch up on! What a place to start though - have been quietly chuckling away to myself at all of Zsa Zsa's fab quotes.
Ah yes she has given us some great one liners. She truly is one of a kind. Xxxx
