An interesting and amusing article from the Washington Post today. Two months short of 100 when she died.
Who was Zsa Zsa Gabor? She paved the way for Kim Kardashian and Donald Trump, dahhling.
No one under 25 knows her name, no one under 40 can articulate why she was a big deal, and no one under 60 thinks of her as anything but a has-been.
But what had she been? A fetching Hungarian who immigrated to Hollywood, became a hot blonde, married a millionaire, made a couple movies — and then stayed famous by looking and acting famous.
Sound familiar? Yes, but she did it first and best, and that’s the “so what”: Zsa Zsa Gabor rouge’d a trail for the career-free celebrity. She was, simply, an invention of herself.
