Gabor began her stage career in Vienna and was crowned Miss Hungary in 1936.〔Hischak, Thomas S. ''The Oxford Companion to the American Musical: Theatre, Film, and Television'', New York: Oxford University Press, 2008, p.271〕 She emigrated to the United States in 1941 and became a sought-after actress with "European flair and style", with a personality that "exuded charm and grace".〔Barris, George. ''Barris Cars of the Stars'', MBI Publishing (2008), p. 71〕 Her first film role was a supporting role in ''Lovely to Look At''. She later acted in ''We're Not Married!'' and played one of her few leading roles in ''Moulin Rouge'' (1952), directed by John Huston, who described her as a "creditable" actress.〔Huston, John. ''John Huton: Interviews'', Univ. Press of Mississippi (2001), pg. 11〕 Outside of her acting career, Gabor is best known for having nine husbands, including hotel magnate Conrad Hilton and actor George Sanders. She once stated, "Men have always liked me and I have always liked men. But I like a mannish man, a man who knows how to talk to and treat a woman – not just a man with muscles."〔"Love Hints from Zsa Zsa", ''Life Magazine'', October 15, 1951 (cover story).〕 ==Early life and career== Gabor was born February 6, 1917 in Budapest (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire)〔 as Sári Gábor (Gábor Sári in Hungarian order, ), the middle of three daughters born to Vilmos Gábor (circa 1876〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEcJ91STi6U A&E's "Biography" - "The Gabors", April 2000, stating Vilmos was "twenty years her senior"〕 - 1962), a soldier, and Jolie Gabor (née Tilleman; 1896–1997).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Hungarian-Jewish Family Tree of Zsa Zsa Gabor - Nick Gombash's Genealogy Blog )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zsa Zsa Gabor profile at )〕〔Jolie Gabor's date of birth was September 30, 1896, although most sources cite September 29, but September 30 date and her name at birth as "Janka" not "Jansci" are supported by her birth certificate.〕 She was reportedly named after Sári Fedák, a popular Hungarian entertainer.〔Gerold Frank, "Zsa Zsa Gabor", ''Films in Review'', January 1961, p. 48〕 Her elder sister Magda was a socialite and her younger sister Eva was an actress and businesswoman. Gabor's mother, Jolie, was an aunt of Annette Lantos, wife of Hungarian-born U.S. congressman and Holocaust survivor, Tom Lantos. Jolie was Jewish, and barely escaped Hungary after the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944,〔 crediting Magda's influential connections with rescuing her: "For Magda's Portuguese Ambassador (Garrido ) I thank God. It was this man who saved my life."〔Adams, Cindy. ''Jolie Gabor'', Mason/Charter Publ. (1975) pgs. 135-49, 173〕 Gabor's maternal grandmother and uncle Sebastian (Annette Lantos's father) chose to remain in Budapest feeling they "had a good place to hide". However, both died during an Allied bombing raid. The fate of Zsa Zsa's three maternal aunts, Jolie's sisters, remains unclear.〔 Gabor and her sisters nominally practiced Roman Catholicism, despite coming from a Jewish family. Some speculation has been made that the Gabor family may have converted in an attempt to assimilate and escape prejudice. Following studies at Madame Subilia's, a Swiss boarding school, Zsa Zsa was discovered by tenor Richard Tauber on a trip to Vienna in 1934 and was invited to sing the soubrette role in his new operetta, ''Der singende Traum'' (''The Singing Dream''), at the Theater an der Wien, making her first stage appearance. Author Gerold Frank, who helped Gabor write her autobiography in 1960, describes his impressions of her while the book was being written: ''Zsa Zsa is unique. She's a woman from the court of Louis XV who has somehow managed to live in the 20th century, undamaged by the PTA ... She says she wants to be all the Pompadours and Du Barrys of history rolled into one, but she also says, "I always goof. I pay all my own bills ... I want to choose the man. I do not permit men to choose me."''〔"Ghost", ''Life'' magazine, 29 June 1959, pgs. 129-39〕 In his autobiography, television host Merv Griffin, who often squired Zsa Zsa's younger sister Eva socially, described the Gabors in their "heyday" as "glamour personified": "All these years later, it's hard to describe the phenomenon of the three glamorous Gabor girls and their ubiquitous mother. They burst onto the society pages and into the gossip columns so suddenly, and with such force, it was as if they'd been dropped out of the sky."〔Griffin, Merv.
