Daughter: Zsa Zsa Gabor 'Not on Any Death Watch'

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 24th 2010 11:07AM

Zsa Zsa Gabor's daughter is strongly denying reports being fueled by her mother's ninth husband that the actress is on her death bed following hip surgery. "She is not in a coma. She is not on any kind of death watch. She is responsive and on medications. All vital signs are still going strong, and she is talking," Constance Francesca Hilton said in a statement to Reuters.

Hilton issued the statement while visiting her mother at the Los Angeles hospital where Gabor is recovering from hip surgery earlier this week. Her father is the late hotelier Conrad Hilton, Gabor's second husband.

Gabor's ninth husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt said earlier on Friday that Gabor, who is in her 90s, was in critical condition and was unresponsive, adding, "the doctors want to observe her over the weekend to make sure her condition improves, but right now it is not looking good."

If her husband is being truthful, then it would be a shocking turnaround from her status following surgery on Monday. "This is the happiest day of my life," von Anhalt told reporters outside their home.

In addition to the broken hip Gabor underwent surgery for, she also suffered a concussion.

Gabor was watching 'Jeopardy' at her home in Bel-Air, California on Saturday night when she fell when trying to answer a phone call. Gabor has been partially paralyzed since a 2002 car accident -- publicist John Blanchette describes her as "pretty much bedridden and wheelchair-bound for the last eight years."

The glitzy star of such films as 'Lili' and 'Moulin Rouge' had a stroke five years ago and was originally listed in serious condition at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center after the fall.

Von Anhalt said the surgery lasted three hours and "went well" in spite of the risks involved. "It is a dangerous surgery at her age," he noted. He said Gabor received care from the same surgeon who repaired California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger broken femur in 2006.

Nah, she married nine billionaires for the divorce settlements.
Most Hungarian women are amazing cooks. I would have married her for that first and the glitz secondly. If I had billions why wouldn't I hire someone to cook ? Not the same as your wife making it with loving detail (I'm currently a top chef. I don't serve food on rocks like that supposedly number one on earth Nomo Chef, sorry). Place where I work makes that screaming hell's kitchen guy look like a choir boy...Al-

wishful thinking on hubby's part?

By Julai

I think that he is just being realistic in what he said. Having been thru a similar surgery with my father at a like age, I can and do understand what he said.

By bublerocks

If her so called "Prince" of a husband was there to answer the phone, her accident would've never happened. Although she is 93 years old and her health has declined over the years let's hope she gets well... Hugs and best wishes...

I wish this Prince A-HOLE would get in a hole and bury himself. My best to you Zsa Zsa.

By falcon38a

Yeah, this supposed prince dude Zsa Zsa is married to is apparently a well-known nut case. I hope Zsa Zsa has a will to prevent him from getting anything.

First she's on her death bed, then she's in for just a hip replacement, then she's "lights out", now she's better. What in hell is going on? Does anyone have a clue.
