Zsa Zsa Gabor Hospitalized After Bone-Breaking Fall

Zsa Zsa Gabor, Hungarian actress and socialite for the ages, was hospitalized Saturday after she fell out of bed and broke several bones, the LA Times reports. The 93-year-old was listed in serious condition at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

Gabor was watching TV in her home in Bel-Air, California when she fell, publicist John Blanchette said. Gabor has been partially paralyzed since a 2002 car accident -- Blanchette describes her as "pretty much bedridden and wheelchair-bound for the last eight years."

"She's fragile, but she's still very bright -- she still makes me laugh," Blanchette said of recent visits with Gabor. "Her faculties are intact, but her body's failing her."

Blanchette said he received a call from Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, at around 8 p.m. Saturday night with news that Gabor had fallen and taken an ambulance to UCLA.

"He said it was bad, she had broken several bones," Blanchette said of von Anhalt's call.

"My wife is a fighter," von Anhalt told TMZ. "She will be okay."

The New York Times refers to Gabor as "the prototypical 'professional celebrity': famous merely for being famous." Prototypical indeed -- who can't name one or five of those types today? Get well soon, Zsa Zsa...

this woman is the original hollyweird skankasaurous. just because she has managed to hang-on for a few years does not change who she is. she never had a big acting career and was mainly famous for being famous and for being a gold-digging tramp who turned the cycle of marriage-divorce-alimony into a cottage industry. at least liz taylor made a couple of movies before she joined this little club.

Best wishes and lots of hugs to Miss Gabor. Thanks for the great memories, get well soon. Miss Gabor the ultimate diva!

"prototypical" refers to her being "an original type, form or instance serving as a basis or standard for later stages"... and she certainly was the first and best. even the spoiled, no-talent "celebs" of today (hilton, simpson, lohan, et.al.) would not dare slap a cop for pulling them over.

In the wake of the Rodney King incedent, the L.A. cops may well owe her an apology.

I didn't realize Ms. Gabor was still alive. God bless her!

I think she should have taken Arnold Ziffel's advice and moved to Hawaii with Mr. Hainey. Hope she recovers well....Al-

No talent for sure. Just pedal your butt and end up with more husbands than she could count. What a waste.
