The following article includes an allegation of rape.
Zsa Zsa Gabor will forever be celebrated for her beauty, career, and lavish lifestyle.
She will also, of course, be remembered for her cheeky sense of humor regarding her love life.
Gabor walked down the aisle nine times, so consider that mission accomplished.
“I was never really a kid because I’m the only child.
Parents do the best they can, you know?”
“You have a Gabor name, you have a Hilton name and any of the best schools.
… And she doesn’t do anything with it,” he said toInside Editionin 2015.
“I can’t help her.
Her mother can’t help her.
She has to make her own life.”
The next year, she married Conrad Hilton.
In September of 1946, she was granted a divorce from the hotel magnate.
The following March, their daughter, Francesca Hilton, was born.
That same year, the divorce was finalized.
In typical Zsa Zsa Gabor style, the movie star cracked wise about their split.
“Conrad Hilton was very generous in the divorce settlement.
He gave me 5,000 Gideon Bibles,” she once said.
However, things behind the scenes were far from lighthearted.
In a 2008 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Francesca addressed her mother’s allegations about her father.
“How would I know?
I wasn’t even there.
I know they had sex because here I am,” she said.
“I asked my mom about this and she doesn’t seem to remember.”
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
When he died in 1979, he was said to be worth around $200 million.
However, that move didn’t totally work out.
“There was a disinheritance clause,” Francesca told the Los Angeles Times.
“If you sue and you lose, you lose.
One-hundred thousand [dollars] out of $200 million, that’s why I sued.”
She was pragmatic about the results, saying, “you’re able to’t live in the past.
That was his decision.”
“The Hiltons denied she as a family member,” he claimed toRadarin 2015.
“This is why she didn’t have any money.”
Instead of breaking away from her family name, she let it fuel her funny.
“I’m older, wiser, smarter and I’m damn wider.”
Later on, she gave a shoutout to one particularly famous relative.
“My niece isParis Hilton.
She called me the other day and said, ‘Francesca, can you pick me up?
I’m just too drunk to drive.’
A few years later, Hilton and von Anhalt entered into a legal battle.
As theDaily Mailreported, Hilton filed for conservatorship.
Von Anhalt dismissed her allegations, countering, “It’s probably her last card she’s playing now.
It’s all about money.
She’s afraid her mother passing away eventually, and there’s nothing.”
Von Anhalt was made temporary conservator.
While they might’ve reached an agreement, Hilton and von Anhalt didn’t exactly become friendly.
Two years later, Hilton took aim at her mom’s ninth husband while speaking withRadar.
“What’s he going to do?
Come sue me, honey.”
Hilton denied the allegations.
In 2007, the case was dismissed after Gabor did not appear in court.
In a statement provided toTMZ, Hilton implied that the allegations were Gabor’s husband’s handiwork.
“I want to get on with my life,” she said.
“These past two years have been stolen from me because of these malicious and untrue charges.
Just your classic Hollywood run-in, right?
Turns out, there is a bit of drama and history there.
Gabor maintained Hilton did nothing of the sort.
The husband in question was Ronald Kass, to whomJoan Collins was marriedfrom 1972 until 1983.
At the time of the flirting drama, Hilton would’ve been in her 20s or 30s.
Francesca Hilton had no fixed address
Growing up, Francesca Hilton lived a glamorous and luxurious life.
Years later, she wound up in vastly different circumstances.
“I live with murderers!”
Hilton’s representative, Edward Lozzi, placed much of the blame at Frederic Prinz von Anhalt’s feet.
“Why did he not help her at all?”
Lozzi questioned in an interview with Radar.
“It would have been nice if her mother and father had helped her out.
His excuse that the courts won’t let me is a lie.
He is a despicable person, and he could have helped her.
He completely left her out to dry.”
His plans never came to fruition.
“We were on the phone minutes before she died,” he said, per theLos Angeles Times.
“We were discussing the book she was writing and a possible deal.
She had to go to the restroom.
She never made it out,” he said.
This could have been Hilton’s turning point, especially concerning her finances.
This was not the first mention of a book being in the works.
“He was wonderful, but he was married to his business… We’d spend Christmas together.
We’d occasionally have lunches at L’Escoffier with my mom.
He loved my mom.
He couldn’t pronounce Zsa Zsa, so he called her Georgia from time to time.
That’s the truth.”
In the wake of her death, Hilton’s stepfather issued a statement.
“I’m very sorry about that.”
“Everybody that really knows Francesca knows why she passed away,” he toldRadar.
“It was a massive heart attack due to the stress of one Frederic von Anhalt.”
As Forbes noted, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt did attempt to claim her body and make preparations.
In the end, a blood relative ultimately took on the role.
The following year, Gabor died at age 99 after years of health issues.
The cause of her death was heart failure.
“Gabor’s widowercontinued, “She left peacefully; she had no pain.
It was just perfect.”
Aboutfive years after Gabor died, her ashes were taken to Budapest, where they were finally buried.
“She’ll be 98 in a couple weeks with blood pressure on the rise.
I don’t want her to have bad news.”
