Fun & Famous
TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY
Zsa Zsa Gábor
‘Being jealous of a beautiful woman is not going to make you more beautiful.’ The lesson we can all learn from the Zsa Zsa Gábor who passed away this weekend deceased Zsa Zsa Gábor, the actress known for her nine husbands, her love for jewelry, and indeed: her many different looks. Don't know her? NOS phrased it beautifully yesterday: she was the Kim Kardashian of her time. The celebrity who was famous for being famous, and in her case, there was no sex tape needed. Time for a trip down memory lane.
Mini Zsa Zsa
The originally Hungarian actress left her motherland in the forties and followed her older sister Eva to Hollywood. Although she had a few small roles in films here and there, she did not become known for her acting talent. She became known for being herself. The lady who shamelessly admitted that she married men for their money and where the brilliant quote came from every time: “I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house.”
First of many
So she married nine times. Nine times, yes. Lucky husband number one was Burhan Asaf Belge.
The sex bomb
It makes sense that you think of Marilyn Monroe when talking about a blonde sex bomb from earlier times, but don't forget Zsa Zsa. Just as blonde, with the same signature bright red lips and a significant décolletage.
The slammer
Nowadays, it seems that every Hollywood celeb has a mugshot of themselves, a trend that Zsa Zsa was of course long ahead of. And of course, everything about her photos is #onfleek.
For the ninth time down the altar
Her ninth and last hubby was almost of royal blood. By almost, I mean he wasn't officially, but he paid Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt to adopt him. Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt is his name and 26 years younger than Zsa Zsa, so she was also quite the cougar.
And to finish with another brilliant quote from Zsa Zsa: ‘Any woman who diets all the time can’t help but be grouchy. Nobody can be amusing or entertaining on a diet.’ And that's just how it is. Tony’s anyone?
