Zsa Zsa Gabor's Leg Successfully Amputated

By Rebecca Macatee Posted Jan 14th 2011 06:44PM

Zsa Zsa Gabor is successfully out of life-saving surgery to amputate her leg, TMZ reports. Three quarters of Gabor's leg was removed, starting from just above her knee. The Hungarian-American socialite and actress has been ailing since summer 2010. Gabor has had a colorful career that paved the way for the next generation of celebrities who were simply "famous for being famous." (And she managed to do that before reality TV!)

Gabor's publicist announced earlier today that the 93-year-old was scheduled to undergo surgery at 11AM PST at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

TMZ reports that there were no unexpected difficulties incurred during the procedure, and Gabor is expect to heal. Doctor are keeping an extra eye on her just in case because of her age.

Gabor's husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt green-lit Gabor's the procedure. Married to Gabor for 24 years, the Prince is currently with by her side at the hospital. He is Gabor's ninth husband.

We wish the original celebutante a speedy recovery!

The Gabor sisters, Zsa Zsa, Eva, and Magda along with their mother Jolie made everyone want to go to Hungary because they made it the glamour capital of the world. This was a fun group in the 60's and 70's. They were intelligent, funny, vivacious and just great entertainment. I miss them all .

Shame on anyone that sits, and trys to make sick jokes about a 93 year old woman losing her leg. There is not one thing funny about it, the surgery its self is very painful. And after the surgery, its extremely painful.
I wish Zsa Zsa a speedy recovery.
