520 For decades, the Gabor dynasty was the epitome of glamour
and fairy tale success. But as biographer, film historian,
and Gabor family friend Sam Staggs reveals, behind the
headlines is a true story more dramatic, fabulous, and
surprising than their self-styled legend would have you
believe... In 1945, after barely escaping Hitler's
invasion of Hungary followed by "liberation" of the
country by the Red Army, three members of the Gabor family
-Jolie, her ex-husband Vilmos, and their daughter Magda-
arrived in New York City. In Hollywood, their other
daughters, Zsa Zsa and Eva, had worked feverishly
throughout the war years to secure their rescue from the
Nazis' plan to exterminate the Jews. Stepping off the boat,
Jolie, the iron-willed matriarch, already had a golden
future mapped out for her sharp-witted, cosmopolitan
beauties. Over the next six decades, with twenty-three
husbands between them (suave All About Eve star George
Sanders would wed both Zsa Zsa and Magda), scores of
lovers, and roller-coaster rides in film, television,
theater, and business, the elegant yet gloriously bawdy,
addictively watchable Gabors carved a niche in the
entertainment industry that made them world-famous pop-
culture icons. But beneath the artifice of Dior and
diamonds was another side to the story they never revealed
: the whole truth. This first verifiable history of the
Gabors casts a startling new light on these extraordinary
women. Finding Zsa Zsa reveals the tumultuous and often
unforgiven battles between mother and daughter, sister and
sister, wife and husband; Eva's "bearded" romance with
Merv Griffin that allowed them both to seek same-sex
lovers; Zsa Zsa's involuntary confinement in a mental
hospital; her life-long struggle with bipolar disorder;
and her last-unconsummated-marriage to the manipulating
faux prince Frederic von Anhalt. Here too is the untold
story of Zsa Zsa's daughter, Francesca Hilton, a gifted
photographer who eschewed the Gabor lifestyle and paid a
sad price for her independence. The story of family
patriarch Vilmos Gabor, who returned to Hungary only to be
trapped behind the Iron Curtain, reads like a Cold War spy
thriller. Culled from new interviews with family,
colleagues, and confidantes, and the unpublished memoirs
of the author's friend Francesca Hilton, Finding Zsa Zsa
finally introduces fans to the Gabor family they never
knew, including many never-before-seen photos. It's a
riveting, outrageously funny, bittersweet, and
affectionately honest read of four women who were
vulnerable, tough, charitable, endlessly fascinating, and
always glamorous to a fault.
