Always got her and her sister Eva mixed up

I just remember Green Acres.

She was a Kardashian before they existed. Zsa Zsa, Eva, and Magda worked the system like the pro entertainers they were. Zsa Zsa probably had the most celebrity status, even if Eva was a better actress.

If you'd like a sci-fi romp, find and watch "Queen of Outer Space," arguably Zsa Zsa's biggest film role. 1950's glamor never looked so good. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052104/

Huh... Never even thought about the Kardashian parallel.

Maybe because the Kardashian's have no talent!

Per USA Today - She was glamorous, quick-witted and not afraid to make fun of herself or her nine marriages (including to Conrad Hilton, Paris Hilton’s great-grandfather), seven divorces and one annulment.

Like her famous great-granddaughter by marriage Paris Hilton, Gabor was among the first celebrities to be famous for her celebrity. Her thick Hungarian accent was much parodied -- especially her penchant for calling everyone she met "darling" -- or "dahlink" as she pronounced it. It became her unique signature.

"I call everyone 'dahlink' because I can't remember their names," the socialite once said.

When I read of her passing, my mind flashed on 'Green Acres'. I know she had a distinguished career on the big screen but it was the juxtaposition of her glamor with the farm life that stuck with me. R.I.P., Zsa Zsa.

It wasn't Zsa Zsa Gabor who was on "Green Acres" it was Eva Gabor.

Oops. Well R.I.P.anyway. (shrug)

The two did look quite similar (not sure which is which)... Eva died in 1995.

RIP Zsa Zsa. Which of the two sisters were always on the Merv Griffin television show.

My guess would be Zsa Zsa. She did a lot of talk shows, and I seem to recall Merv saying her name a lot. Eva was busy living her life, and trying to be a serious actress. Zsa Zsa figured out early on she was better at being famous (think: the Kardashians), than anything she ever did that involved talent (think: the Kardashians again.) She ran with people like Bob Hope and Sammy Davis and other Rat Pack Hollywood celebs who worked their fame to their great benefit. Zsa Zsa's skill also included marrying well. We don't need to talk about that whole "slapping the L.A. police officer for being rude to her" thing...

The end of an era, for sure.

I believe it was Zsa Zsa that quipped that she was a great housekeeper - every time she got divorced, she kept the house ;-)

Eva was Merv's companion in later years. ZaZa outlived her family even her daughter. I mostly remember being a guest star on Mr. Ed. Then later she slapped a police officer because he wrote her a ticket. Two months shy of living to 100!
