Zsa Zsa Gabor ends medical treatment so she can 'spend her last days at home'



Legendary Hollywood actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has returned home from hospital to live out her final days, after refusing to undergo any more surgery



The 93-year-old actress, who has starred in films and television programmes since the 1950s, was earlier given her last rites by a priest at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, her husband said.

Frederick Prinz von Anhalt, Gabor’s ninth husband, said Gabor was conscious at the time but could only speak ‘very little’.

Doctors wanted to perform surgery on her liver that would give her a 50-50 chance survival rate, but Gabor and her husband decided 'she wanted to spend her final days at home,' publicist John Blanchette said.

The former beauty queen, who was once married to socialite Paris Hilton’s great-grandfather, spent last month in hospital for hip replacement surgery after falling out of bed in July.



Two days ago she returned to her mansion in Bel Air, but she was rushed back to hospital after suffering two blood clots following the surgery.

Her publicist, John Blanchette, said she broke her hip falling out of bed while watching the television game show Jeopardy!. ‘Her health has been up and down ever since,’ he said.

He said Gabor was in surgery for several hours yesterday to remove the clots from her upper body, one of them very close to her heart.

‘Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has seen a priest and is not doing very well. She's in serious condition. She asked to see a priest and receive her last rites,’ he said.

‘Her husband, Frederic von Anhalt is at at her side. It is a very difficult time for her family.’

Gabor celebrated her 24th wedding anniversary to her ninth husband Von Anhalt in the hospital on Saturday, Blanchette said.

Gabor, who was born in Hungary, starred in more than 30 Hollywood films, including John Huston's 1952 Moulin Rouge and the 1958 film noir Touch of Evil by Orson Welles.

In recent years she also starred as herself in movies.

Most memorably she appeared in Naked Gun 2 And A Half: The Smell Of Fear in a scene where she gets pulled over by a police car and then proceeds to slap the red light.

The spoof is a parody of a real incident in 1989, when Gabor slapped a police officer who pulled her over for a traffic violation.

Her sisters, Eva and Magda, were also renowned socialites in the United States in the 1950s.

Gabor has been married nine times.

Her second marriage was to hotel magnate Conrad Hilton, Paris Hilton’s great grandfather, with whom she had her only child, Francesca Hilton.
