The legendary Hungarian actress suffered a heart attack and passed away after years of health troubles
ZSA Zsa Gabor has died aged 99.
The legendary Hungarian actress suffered a heart attack and passed away after years of health troubles, just two months shy of her 100th birthday.
Her publicist has confirmed she passed away at her Bel Air mansion after spending the last five years on life support.
She is survived by husband Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, while her only child, daughter Francesca Hilton, to second husband Conrad Hilton, died in January 2015.
Starring in films such as Moulin Rouge, The Girl in the Kremlin and Queen of Outer Space, she span the gamut of Hollywood from A-list star to B-movie queen.
A true Hollywood icon, Zsa Zsa became a socialite alongside her sister Eva in 1930s in Beverly Hills.
She suffered a long period of ill-health after being involved in a car accident in 2002 which resulted in her becoming partially paralysed.
Years of complications followed and she eventually had to have her right leg amputated in 2011.
Born in Budapest in 1917 to mother Jolie Gabor and father Vilmos Gabor, her family fled the rise of Nazism in Europe to begin a new life in America.
Gabor was married nine times most recently to Frederic Prinz von Anhalt who she married in 1986.
She was first married to Burhan Asaf Beige between 1937 and 1941 before divorcing him and going on to marry hotel magnate Conrad Hilton between 1942 and 1947.
