Hollywood actress, Zsa Zsa (Hungarian for ‘Susan’) Gabor was, and still is indeed an unrivalled colorful personality. This brilliant star always seemed to be ready with witty solutions to even the toughest of dilemmas. Apart from the fact that she was one of those few celebrities to have married a whopping nine times, Zsa Zsa also made the news for physically assaulting a man in uniform. Stephen Schochet, a long-time professional tour guide for Hollywood, once recounted an incident where his visitors were fortunate enough to meet this enchanting lady at a Rodeo Drive boutique named ‘Fred Hayman’. She not only obliged them with a regular photo session, but also agreed to share a coffee with them.

As if that wasn’t enough, Gabor charmingly advised Laura, the bartender of the boutique, on how to look more stunning than she already was. The star even suggested Laura (who looked as attractive as supermodel Cindy Crawford) stay away from alcohol to maintain the beautiful skin that the latter was blessed with. Immediately after that the gorgeous actress said, “By the way, darling, put a little extra brandy in the cappuccino today.” As Schochet says, he began reminiscing about the time when a young woman approached Zsa Zsa asking her how to break off her engagement with a rich fiancé who had gifted her diamonds, a stove, a fur coat and a Rolls Royce. Gabor quipped, “Give back the stove”.

All my life, I have been a positive thinker... I have always been able to survive by telling myself that no matter how bad things are, they will one day be better. And that out of every event - no matter how tragic - one can always find a way to survive and even, perhaps, to be a little bit happy.

My advice is not always so logical and consistent. But then, love is not logical and consistent. So why should my advice be? If you want that kind of thinking, go to a computer. Computers are always logical and consistent, and you see how often they get proposed to.

Talent
Zsa Zsa Gabor

Any woman who diets all the time can't help but be grouchy. Nobody can be amusing or entertaining on a diet.

Time
Zsa Zsa Gabor

The minute I understand a man, he is no longer exciting and a challenge to me. And the last thing in the world I want is for a man to understand me and know what's always going on inside my head.
