Gabor sisters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gabor sisters are three famous Hungarian actresses/socialites:
- Magda Gabor 1915-1997
- Zsa Zsa Gabor 1917-present
- Eva Gabor 1919-1995
The Gabors were born in Budapest, Hungary to Vilmos and Jolie Gabor. The family moved to New York in the wake of World War II. Magda had played a small role in a Hungarian film before the war, so Jolie and her three daughters decided to move to Hollywood to break into the movie business.
Their claim to fame, perhaps beyond their acting careers, is that of serial matrimony: They have been married six, eight (or nine; one marriage was illegal and annulled), and five times, respectively. British actor George Sanders was married first to Zsa Zsa and later to Magda.
There is a Gabor line of wigs still sold presently.
