Zsa Zsa Gabor once said, “I was born to make headlines.” Sleuth was born to make deadlines … so this fourth and final post will close the book on one of the most eventful—and erotic—lives of the past century!

As journalist and judge Piers Morgan tweeted when she died just 40 days short of her 100th birthday:

Adds an Australian newspaper: “No serious critique and analyses of media should exclude the extraordinary impact of notoriety and celebrity that fueled the public personae of the Gabors, and Zsa Zsa in particular.”

When we concluded Part 3 of her story, the actress had just asked Tonight Show host Johnny Carson if he would “like to pet my pussy” … four years later her younger sister Eva introduced the game of Twister to the world by ‘playing around’ with Johnny on that same show—and what Nerve.com calls ‘The World’s Sexiest Board Game’ was launched!

“Famous for his semi hard humor,” Nerve notes, “Carson had Green Acres star Eva Gabor on that night, and Twister’s fate (and yours) was sealed with 3 simple words, ‘Vat’s dis, Johnny?’ Eva was interested, which made Johnny interested, which made the audience interested. One low-cut dress round of the stocking feet game later, and everyone rushed out to buy the clothed key party in a box.

“Twister became ‘The Game of 1966’ {3 million sold after Eva’s effort} and thank goodness for that. Without Twister, so many first boners would have gone un-boned, so many boobs ungrazed. So thank you, Miss Gabor. Thank you for your immeasurable contribution to world culture and adolescent sex. We’re truly in debt to you.” A debt that paid off when the parlor game was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in Nov. 2015 …with actors portraying Eva and Johnny in tribute to their twisted ’66 skit (below)!

Eva’s actions brought ‘dry humping’ into the open, but her Sis insisted that she didn’t believe in openmarriages: “I know nothing about sex, because I was always married.”

Somehow, she managed to work many others ‘in’: “Zsa Zsa lived for sex and started young,” observed the Daily Mail. In fact, despite being the middle of 3 sisters, it was she who explained the facts of life to them after “reaching through the fence to fondle a young man from the Romanian Embassy next door” to the Gabor villa in Budapest.

“I have felt my first penis on a man,” she informed older Magda and younger Eva. “If you play with it, it becomes enlarged—three times its original size! Not only that, but there is a pouch that hangs below the penis containing what feels like two eggs.”

And from then on, Zsa Zsa proseeded to break a lot of eggs. “Gabor’s long and tempestuous sexual odyssey,” recounted the Daily Mail, “comprised nine marriages, seven divorces, one annulment and literally hundreds of lovers—names like Frank Sinatra, Richard Burton, Sean Connery and even Richard Nixon!”

As well as Nixon’s nemesis, John F. Kennedy, who once “fumbled to explain her allure” to writer Walter Winchell: “It is hard to put her excitement into words. Just taking her to dinner is sensually fulfilling.”

Even if you’re the odd man out {as Jack watches her juggle two jealous jerks}. Unless Zsa Zsa wasn’t just teasing when she cooed: “As I’ve always said, three’s company, but four’s an orgy.”

And there’s never been a foursome like Britain’s Beatles … so naturally Zsa Zsa was “in on that” too!

When the group headlined a ‘Night of 100 Stars’ benefit at the London Palladium on July 23, 1964—the hand-picked mistress of ceremonies was the even-more famous Ms. Gabor. Who promptly fainted in rehearsals … only to be caught by Paul McCartney—who managed to ‘cop a feel’ in the process!

Grateful Gabor later entranced the Lads backstage (below left), and was spied pointing to Paul’s crotch while he talked on the phone outside his dressing room (below right).

Leading some to speculate she might have also engaged in a ‘Fab Foursome’ with them {assuming Ringo was left out}.

And the rumors were fueled on the Beatles’ next U.S. tour … when Zsa Zsa allowed them to live in her house at 2850 Benedict Canyon Drive for the length of their stay!

The ‘Divorcing Diva’ had the mansion, of course, because of her famous boast:

“At the height of Beatlemania and unable to socialize in public,” writes Dangerous Minds.net, “with Gabor’sSpanish villa being besieged by hordes of fans and even paparazzi photographers trying to get shots of them from helicopters, they invited the group The Byrds as well as actress Peggy Lipton and actor Peter Fonda over.” Recalls Roger McGuinn, founder of The Byrds: “There were girls at the gates, and police guards.

“David {Crosby}, John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and I took LSD to help get to know each other better,” McGuinn reveals. It was only George’s second experience with the drug and “Harrison had a really,really bad trip and needed to be talked down by Peter Fonda, because he thought he was about to die.” Confirms Fonda: “I told George there was nothing to be afraid of and that all he needed to do was relax. I said that I knew what it was like to be dead because when I was 10 years old I’d accidentally shot myself in the stomach and my heart stopped beating 3 times.

“John was passing at the time and heard me saying ‘I know what it’s like to be dead.’ He looked at me and said, ‘You’re making me feel like I’ve never been born.’” Which became the opening lines—with the speakers changed to female to be sexier—of Lennon’s seminal 1966 psychedelic song She Said She Said.

“Just think,” marvels Dangerous Minds. “If the Beatles hadn’t decided to use Zsa Zsa’s villa as a den for illicit drug behavior, it never would have been written!

The actress can even be viewed as ‘The American Pattie Boyd’—a reference to Harrison’s wife who inspired more great songs than anyone: “Something (in the Way She Moves)” … “Layla (You Got Me on My Knees),” which caused her to leave George for his pal Eric Clapton … and the latter’s “(My Darling You Look) Wonderful Tonight.”

Zsa Zsa also turns up in three popular songs! Dion DiMucci’s 1963 top-10 hit Donna the Prima Donna, features the chorus: “She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor … Even though she’s the girl next door.”

A similar theme permeated English synth-pop duo Erasure’s 1988 single Like Zsa Zsa Zsa Gabor {adding an extra ‘Zsa’ for emphasis, below left}.

“Openly gay” singer-songwriter Andy Bell even dressed up like “the movie queen” when performing the number (above right)—clearly, like Lady Gaga, he was “born this way.”

Gabor was “so famous for being famous,” in fact, that legendary lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, in the words of Vanity Fair, “rhymed ‘Zsa Zsa Gabor’ with ‘nuclear war’ in a number listing the absurdities of American life, from the 1958 musical Flower Drum Song.” And that’s Zsa Zsa ‘turning Japanese’ for a Tokyo earthquake benefit the next year!

Further testament to her fame was her multiple autobiographies—the two most famous her 1970 sex advice book (below left) and 1991’s One Lifetime is Not Enough (below right).

New York Magazine’s review of the latter suggested: “It’s the kind of thing best read naked in a perfumed bubble bath” …

… while her co-author, Wendy Leigh {who committed suicide less than 7 months before Gabor died} marveled upon seeing her collaborator in the buff: “Zsa Zsa’s figure was bosomy and curvy in the extreme” {tutoring her daughter and her dog below}.

As was Wendy (below right), who added: “She presented me with one of her most beautiful diaphanousnightgowns, simply because it matched my hair.”

“Also Queenly in the extreme,” Leigh laughed shortly before jumping from her balcony, “perhaps it was inevitable that Zsa Zsa would end up a Princess.” And ironic that Modern Man magazine named her its ‘Queen’ back in 1960, saying: “We have a crown that we present to Zsa on the basis that, where other stars come and go like blinking neon signs, Zsa stays—and how!” (below left).

And how did she get, and keep, her crown? (above right). By making her ninth husband her last!

And it lasted for 30 years … hard to believe, considering Zsa Zsa’s earlier observation:

In the words of the Daily Mail: “Hans Robert Lichtenberg, a former masseur and son of a policeman, was adopted in 1980, at the age of 37 (!), by the last German Kaiser’s 82-year-old widowed daughter-in-law, Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt, who was close to bankruptcy at the time. A business transaction, Lichtenberg thereafter called himself His Highness Prince Frédéric von Anhalt, Duke of Saxony … and upon Zsa Zsa’s marriage to him in 1986 (below left)—which even her mother and sister Eva boycotted—Gabor called herself Her Highness, Duchess of Saxony” (below right).

“I always knew how to handle women,” her ‘royal’ husband boasted … while doubters dubbed him ‘Prince von A-Hole.’ And he apparently knew how to handle his demanding bride—according to her close friend and biographer Wendy Leigh: “Right through her 70s and early 80s, Zsa Zsa enjoyed a vigorous and bawdy sex life with Fédéric … and made sure everyone, in particular her maids, knew about it.”

One thing she didn’t know about was her fiancé’s fling in West Germany with 17-year-old Csilla Molnár—the first Miss Hungary elected after a 50-year hiatus following the 1936 winner’s disqualification for being underage. That disgraced Miss Hungary, of course, was named Zsa Zsa Gabor!

“She was just a beautiful girl,” Prince Frédéric said of 1986 titleholder Molnár (below left), “and we ended up at my place. I wasn’t married yet, so what the heck. It was just an affair {and she was open to it, below right}.

“I had fun with her,” the ungallant German continues, without grief or remorse, “but I didn’t love her. What can I do with an 18-year-old girl? When I am 60, she will no longer want me.” Who wouldn’t have wanted Csilla: she daringly posed naked for sculptor Gyula Pauer just before the Miss Hungary pageant—the finished product now rests in a museum, eerily reminiscent of the elaborate carving that adorns her final resting place.

To escape the scandal of his pregnant teen lover’s suicide, von Anhalt “fled back to Los Angeles and moved in with Zsa Zsa,” who took care of him. “She is the only woman who stands on my side, no matter what happens,” the pseudo-Prince proclaimed. “And I will never let her down, never. She is the best lover, the best friend—she is the best everything.” And with the best chest

“She had run through a lot of guys, and she needed a man,” was gossip goddess Cindy Adams’ interpretation of how Frédéric got Gabor to marry him. “If she didn’t have a husband, she had a lover, because that’s the only way a Gabor knows she’s alive. They grew up as courtesans: ‘Everybody desires me, darling!’”

So finally her Prince had come … alas also for a decade inside another busty blonde, Anna Nicole Smith: “A girl like that, you’re not going to kick her out of bed, that’s for sure!” von A-hole crowed after releasing a German disco hit celebrating Viagra (below left). “In these 10 years, we met for sex about 30 or 40 times, mostly in L.A. We always went to a private house.” That’s because he swears Zsa Zsa advised him about the affair with Anna: “Do whatever you want, as long as you don’t bring them into my house.”

The day after Smith died of a drug overdose in 2007, Prince Frédéric thrust himself into the debate over who was the daddy of her 5-month-old heiress daughter, being contested by her former boyfriend Larry Birkhead and her lawyer Howard K. Stern {the principles, inset above}. “If you go back from September,” the Prince•ipal pronounced, “she wasn’t with either of those guys—she was with me.”

DNA tests proved otherwise {Birkhead has custody}, yet von Anhalt scoffed: “It doesn’t mean a thing. I love my wife very much. And amazingly, Zsa Zsa agreed. Asked after the Anna affair, ‘What makes a good husband?,’ she told Vanity Fair: “A nice faithful man.”

Their faith was tested most when she arrested ...3 years into the marriage! “On June 14, 1989, “Zsa Zsa was driving happily alone down La Cienega Boulevard in her Rolls Royce, a flask of Jack Daniel’s by her side, when she was pulled over by motorcycle police officer Paul Kramer. Not once but twice.”

“He was very gorgeous and macho,” Gabor said of the patrolman who picked her out—later reenacting the traffic stop for a TV commercial (below left). No stranger to charming the cops (below right), she added: “Usually they say, ‘Zsa Zsa, are you married these days, do you want to marry me? Not this guy.”

Having noticed that her flashy license plates had expired, Officer Kramer checked on her registration. “But he kept me waiting 45 minutes in the hot sun. I said, ‘Can I go?’ He said, ‘You fucking bitch, why don’t you fuckoff’—which in America, means ‘go.’ So I go. Then he comes after me, drags me out of the car and says, ‘Now, you bitch, you’re going to be arrested. That’s when I hit him.” Which became known as ‘The Slap Heard ’Round the World’ … and which the dissenting duo demonstrated in court.

“Then he put the ‘cufflinks’ on me” (below left), she defiantly declared on the witness stand (below right). “You just cannot drive a Rolls Royce in Beverly Hills anymore, because they have it in for you.” And now they have it in the vintage Volo Auto Museum of Illinois, which has housed her 1979 Rolls Royce Corniche convertible—which she bought for $109,800—since 2014 (bottom left).

“Thank you darling,” appeared on Zsa Zsa’s official Facebook page when the auto was enshrined in the museum on its 25th ‘slap•versary’. “I shared it.” And she once shared why she always addressed people with such affection:

Her arrest proved the point made by the New York Times upon her death: “Ms. Gabor was the first reality show star and way ahead of her time.” As the Huffington Post added: “She had her own mug shot before every other startlet.”

As to ‘her time,’ People magazine noted during the 15-day trial, “Zsa Zsa simply doesn’t get old. In fact, she gets younger. The driver’s license she gave to Officer Kramer had been physically altered to change her birthdate from 6/6/23 (already suspect) to 2/6/28.” Likewise her smudged passport, obtained by Sleuth:

“You can say I’m full of shit,” the defendant declared in response, “but don’t say I’m old.”

And don’t say to her—as Gabor claimed the cop did, “Get out of the car you fucker!” before grabbing her wrists violently and shackling her. For as Zsa Zsa hissed to Howard Stern on his 1992 TV show: “A man who handcuffs a woman to a bed is not a good lover.”

“Besides, my handcuffs are made of diamonds and emeralds—and I have them actually.”

An aside that reinforces Vanity Fair’s tribute that “the Gabors made no bones about their own needs. To put it squarely, they liked sex {Zsa Zsa is credited with being the first famous ‘Cougar’}. Discarding husbands as casually as expired credit cards {but not license tags}, the sisters were female counterparts to Hugh Hefner, that other iconic forerunner to the sexual revolution.

“The Gabor philosophy may be antithetical to traditional feminism (above), but they only looked ‘kept.’” Or as Zsa Zsa counseled her daughter, the sisters’ only offspring: “Let the man think he’s boss.”

Unless he thinks a badge can let him boss her around: “I can’t believe in a country as great as ours,” Gabor groused during one of her many packed press conferences during her ordeal “that a 6-foot-4 policeman can beat up a lady of 5-foot-4 and use dirty language as if she were a street walker. I think Russia can’t be worse, or communist Hungary.” Since all were alive at the time, perhaps the supporting crowd’s chant should not only have been about liberating Zsa Zsa (below) but also to ‘Free the Gabor Four!’

The most vehement protestors against her arrest, in this less-P.C. period, formed a united group called ‘The Society for the Prevention of Anything Against Zsa Zsa’ … or S.P.A.A.Z.Z. for short.

“It was like Nazi Germany,” the degraded defendant demanded to be heard. “They killed half the gorgeous girls {uh, not just them, Darling}. You should have seen the hatred in his eyes.” So of course she slapped him. But when things started to look bleak—after the judge in the case accused her of “milking the criminal justice system” to publicize herself—it looked like her lady lawyer was milking Z.Z.G. to calm down her fiery client.

“This is woman’s reaction” to a man’s af•front,” Gabor glared. “I admit I have a Hungarian temper. Why not? I am from Hungary. We are descendants of Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun.” The defense rested.

The jury wasn’t convinced … Zsa Zsa was convicted and “ordered to serve 3 days in jail, to pay fines and restitution totaling $12,937, to perform 120 hours of community service and undergo a psychiatric evaluation.”

The actress was accustomed to crowds—surrounded at Cannes (below left)—but ‘going to the can’ left her nervous at the post-verdict press scrum (below right).

Nor any in the pokey … where Zsa Zsa counted the hours (below left) while serving her time (below right). Like Trump following Obama, she fashionably flaunted the fact that orange was the new black.

“People are always picking on me,” she moaned … but couldn’t pick the lock on her jail cell for an “unbearable” 72 hours.

When she emerged—looking rested … and double breasted—her “faithful” prince of a husband was all smiles by her side.

Ever the trouper, Gabor got the last laugh: spoofing the trooper on her Christmas card later that year {‘going to London and B-pest,’ she hand wrote to a friend} …

… before getting slap-happy with a police car’s flashing red beacon the next year in the film The Naked Gun 2½

… then stalking away, sputtering: “Ach! This happens every fucking time when I go shopping.”

Cops and cars would again figure in the life of the proclaimed Prince and Princess von Anhalt nearly two decades later! “I know he has a very bad temper,” Zsa Zsa admitted of her ‘royal’ romeo after he managed to hitch himself to a star. “I know he’s no good. He’s not an angel, but if he was an angel, I wouldn’t want him.”

Yet according to her angel, “a gun-toting gang of hot lesbianswanted him in July 2007: Driving his Rolls Royce near the Bel Air Country Club, Frédéric swears that three young women “waved at me to stop and get out of the car. All of a sudden I felt something hard … and I knew I had a gun in my neck. I had to take off my watch—it was a platinum Rolex with diamonds all around—and then the prettiest one told me to get undressed. So I took everything off, and she took the belt out of my pants and tied me on the steering wheel and pulled it tight. It took about 5 minutes to get my hands loose, and then I called 911.”

“It looked to me like some kind of lesbian gang,” the Prince told police when they arrived. “I couldn’t get out of the car because I was completely nude. I didn’t have nothing to cover myself.”

Wrote Vanity Fair: “A picture of Mr. Gabor naked with his wrists strapped to the steering wheel (below left) elicited much gleeful commentary, along with questions about why he was bound when the paparazzi arrived, despite having earlier untied his restraints in order to call for help.

“Several Internet gossip columnists suggested that von Anhalt frequents gay cruising areas in his automobile,” Vanity Fair offered as an explanation, “and might have picked up the wrong person.” Such as the former butcher he took ‘title’ to in 2006, Marcus Eberhardt (together around the ’hood, above right)—who now goes by the name Prince Marcus von Anhalt after being adopted {also at age 37} by Frédéric “for a LOT of money.”

Their ‘son’ owns “over 20 brothels and clubs in Germany”—and spent “4 years in prison for human trafficking” before coming to live with Zsa Zsa and her prince in L.A. Most recently, Prince Marcus was pictured ‘going wild’ at the opening of his latest sex club … with date Pamela Anderson!

After 8 divorces, People proclaimed, Zsa Zsa had finally “found a man bad enough to love”—one who would erect a billboard across Beverly Hills to mark their 25th wedding anniversary in 2011 …

… and stay by his Princess bride’s side as she headed to a hundred!

“Her final words were, ‘I love you,’” Fred said after she was dead. “I had to press on her chest by her breast because she was still breathing.”

One of Gabor’s last gasps in the public eye occurred when actress Elke Sommer filed a slander suit against her fellow German von Anhalt and Zsa Zsa for telling the press she was “a financially strapped Hollywood has-been.” Huffed the older actress: “I’d rather see her starve to death than give her one single dollar. I used to like that girl. I liked her until I saw her calling me a fat pig. Then I decided I didn’t like her anymore.”

Their feud dated back nearly a decade to a joint appearance on TV’s Circus of the Stars, in which Sommer showcased her dog training skills (below), then glimpsed Gabor getting on a stallion for her segment.

“There was a romantic rivalry going on with them because of some men they competed over in the ’50s and ’60s,” revealed her longtime friend and publicist Edward Lozzi on the day of the Hungarian’s December death. “So Zsa Zsa comes around backstage, and Elke Sommer says, ‘Oh my God, the poor horse!’ Everybody knew what that meant because Zsa Zsa was very zaftig, and the saddle was very full.”

“So she {Gabor} made the mistake of turning around,” Lozzi lamented, “and she says, ‘Oh, isn’t that Elke Sommer? It’s good to see you out—the last thing I heard was you were knitting sweaters and selling them out of the trunk of your car.’ Nobody heard what Elke said, but everybody heard what Zsa Zsa said!”

And when she told the tale to two German newspapers years later, the younger actress demanded a retraction. Gallant Prince Frédéric only fanned the flames by responding that “Sommer is 68, but looks like a balding 100-year-old grandmother.”

Enraged Elke produced her birth certificate—something Zsa Zsa would never do!—which showed she was 48 when the German articles appeared. And which won her $3.3 million from the jury—“the largest personal libel judgment in history.”

Only to be eclipsed a few years later by the award against O.J. Simpson. And in case you’re wondering: the judge in the 1993 Sommer-Gabor trial was … Lance Ito.

“I felt my dignity had been taken away, and now it’s been restored,” fellow horsewoman Elke enthused at the END of the trial.

So let’s conclude our 165-image, four-part fact check of Zsa Zsa’s unbelievable century with pictures that prove to be worth a thousand words … as Sleuth counts down the Top Ten Greatest Exposures of “a Sex Symbol for the Ages.”

“Can you say BOOBS!” read a recent post on Pinterest reacting to this 1956 ‘Nude Dress’ she wore in Vegas. “I was wondering, Zsa Zsa, could you possibly make this a little lower cut? Because at this point I’m pretty sure you have to wear pasties.”

I’m pretty sure we must bow out too … leaving the last word to the Daily Mail on the day she died: “The world, which she kept entertained and fascinated through the decades, will be a duller and less colorful place now that Zsa Zsa—the last and liveliest of the glittering Gabors—has made her final exit.”

And now Sleuth makes his.
