Eva was always my favorite Gabor. And let's not talk about the Green Acres song etc!

 

Interestingly way back when and before I was even coming to grips with my own sexuality (and obviously not knowing anything about Merv Griffen's predilections) I always felt that Eva was Griffen's favorite Gabor sister as well. There always seemed to be a spark that existed between the two of then that was never there with Zsa Zsa! Perhaps it's a particular gene that some of us get... The I want Eva beard gene!

Is that Q at her bedside?

Which one slapped the policeman? I can't remember.

 

That was Zsa Zsa. (Nice segue back to the Gabor we were originally talking about, LADoug1 -- kudos!)

'I Can't Believe It,' She Says : Zsa Zsa Gabor Convicted of Slapping Police Officer

September 30, 1989|DAVID FERRELL and EDMUND NEWTON | Times Staff Writers

 

The strange, oftentimes uproarious Zsa Zsa Gabor trial was handed over to posterity on Friday, with a jury convicting the actress of slapping a police officer, driving without a license and possessing an open container of alcohol--a flask of Jack Daniels--in her $215,000 Rolls-Royce.

 

But the tempestuous Hungarian was acquitted of disobeying Beverly Hills Police Officer Paul Kramer when she drove away from a routine traffic stop on June 14. Jurors found that the action--which led to a pursuit followed by an altercation and arrest--may have resulted from nothing more than miscommunication.

 

Gabor, wearing a bold, orange-and-black print dress, appeared excited and nervous as she arrived at Beverly Hills Municipal Court for the misdemeanor verdicts, which came after 14 hours of jury deliberation.

 

She gasped aloud when the first guilty verdict was read, but seemed to show no other reaction until she exited the courtroom, smiling once, with her husband, Prince Frederick von Anhalt of Germany. Outside, she faced a bumping-and-shoving crowd of two dozen TV news cameras and more than 50 members of an international press corps, and she lashed out at the ruling.

 

"I'm disappointed. I can't believe it," Gabor said, moments before the premises were cleared because of a bomb threat. "I can't believe that in a country as great as ours that a 6-foot-4 policeman can beat up a lady of 5-foot-4 and use dirty language as if she was a street walker. I think Russia can't be worse, or communist Hungary."

 

Asked how she felt about the prospects of jail, she said: "That would be wonderful. I'd have time to write my book.

 

"If I go to jail, Bistro Gardens (a restaurant) said they would serve me food three times a day."

 

Gabor's sentencing was set for Oct. 17. Although the convictions carry total maximum penalties of 18 months in jail and about $3,000 in fines, Gabor is unlikely to do jail time because of her nearly clean record and contributions to charity and show business, predicted her attorney, William Graysen.

 

But Deputy Dist. Atty. Elden Fox, who sparred repeatedly with Gabor during her time on the witness stand, was evasive about whether he would seek a jail sentence, saying he was "contemplating" many possibilities.

 

"She was convinced that there was no reason for these traffic laws to be enforced because she was Zsa Zsa Gabor," Fox said. "If you or I slapped a police officer, we would expect jail time."

 

Fox noted, however, that Gabor's age--reportedly 66--will be considered in her sentencing, as well as her history with the law. "There is a prior record," he added. "She was convicted in Britain of hitting a police officer with a pocketbook. She was fined $5,000."

She was sentenced to 3 days in jail, a fine, community service, and a mandatory psychiatric evaluation. Did she serve the 3 days? Where did she do her community service? Anyone know?

DESERET NEWS ... July 31, 1990

 

Zsa Zsa Gabor says she slept on a horse blanket and the food was terrible, but her three days in jail for slapping a Beverly Hills police officer were otherwise fairly pleasant.

 

"I was very happily surprised," she said after her release Monday. "Everybody was warm and nice and sweet. It was OK. The Beverly Hills police should come and take lessons from this police."

 

But there was that moment of terror. "At first I was petrified. They even took my makeup away," she said.

 

She scolded reporters for a weekend story that her husband, Frederick Von Anhalt, delivered silk sheets to the jail. "I didn't have silk sheets. I don't even have silk sheets at home. I was on a horse blanket," she said.

 

She declared the food "terrible."

 

Gabor, 72, got 72 hours in jail for smacking a police officer during a traffic stop last year. A judge ordered the actress and former Hungarian beauty queen to jail for failing to fulfill her original sentence, 120 hours of community service. Gabor paid $85 a day to do her time at the El Segundo jail rather than have the county pick accommodations for her.

 

[This thread is beginning to amount to something like a career comeback for double Zsa!]

I recall Zsa Zsa describing how she was robbed of her diamonds when on an elevator at the Waldorf Astoria many years ago. Could it have been on the Merv Griffen show!? That is indeed my recollection, but I'm sure that she made the rounds given the multiplicity of such shows in those days. The Mike Douglas Show comes to mind as well. So she subsequently was going to have her jewelry duplicated with cubic zirconia or some such thing and keep the originals in a vault if I recall correctly! Who woulda thunk... a bejeweled Gabor on Park Avenue!

What's scary, possibly I got the Zsa Zsa gene in addition to the Eva variety given that I recall this incident!

No worries, WG ... if you live to be as old as Zsa Zsa, you won't recall the incident (or the fact that you have Gabor genes, or anything else...)

 

But hopefully you'll have a Prince to care for you.

Well if I had Zsa Zsa's bank account (or diamond collection) I would have played sugar daddy and bought myself a prince long ago! I'm currently working on Plan B which is to kidnap a hot guy and keep him as my personal whipping boy!

! Zsa Zsa has class

 

Jack Paar ("The Tonight Slow") and Merv Griffin often had group guests; IMHO that was Zsa Zsa at her best, getting in just the right witty line. She was not quite as good being interviewed on her own. During Paar's time on TV, she was still well known for the film "Moulin Rouge," a classy and successful movie.

I was wondering if this incident would be mentioned. Since I live in Philadelphia, I remember it well. I was sick from work the day Zsa Zsa appeared on all the local talk shows to defend herself. If she was really upset, Zsa Zsa would have invited them back, apologized in person and treated then exceptionally well. Instead, she seemed to enjoy the publicity. From that moment on, I felt very sorry for her daughter.

Eva seemed to have a sweetness about her that Zsa Zsa lacked. I also think she displayed a lot of comedic acting skill on Green Acres. Her grave stone is touching...

Regarding Merv Griffin, they are showing his old shows on the GET-TV Network. The old black and white episodes can be fascinating. Last week they had an episode from the mid 1960s with a young-ish Phil Specter as guest. He was every bit as creepy and weird with bad hair as he is now. He even told some anecdote about pulling a gun on someone!

Well if I had Zsa Zsa's bank account (or diamond collection) I would have bought myself a prince long ago!

 

They're so damn hard to come by -- PRINCES, that is.

 

I mean, there are the kind that are born to it, but they have all that pressure to wed and reproduce. Sure, some of them are probably gay (and into BDSM) on the side, but would you ever feel like that kind of Prince was really yours?

 

I suppose you could settle for someone who's regarded as "A Prince Among Men" (as the saying goes)--but even they are in short supply.

 

How about a Prince from Daddy's peerage? I checked the Notable Members list for you; you currently have five to choose from: Axiom, Gman, PK, jjkrkwood and justaguy. Hmmm...

 

OR, as a last resort, you could pick a fellow who kind of, well ... becomes a Prince. The way Zsa Zsa's did. Which was like this:

 

Hans Lichtenberg was born in the Rhineland, one of five children of a criminal police councillor and his wife. In 1980, Lichtenberg was adopted as a 36-year-old adult by Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt, daughter-in-law of German Emperor Wilhelm II. His name became Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt when he was adopted. "Prinz von Anhalt" is his surname, not a title, however, he did adopt the title "Prince Frédéric of Anhalt, Duke of Saxony and Westphalia, Count of Ascania." Marie Auguste was bankrupt and the adoption was a business transaction arranged by Hans Hermann Weyer, a former window dresser who became the honorary consul of Bolivia in Luxembourg. Weyer was known for selling certificates of nobility, doctoral degrees from fictitious universities and other spurious decorations in Germany in the 1960s. So there you have it ... amazing what you can buy--even a Prince!--if you just know where to shop!

Shoot! That's a bit complicated for me!!!

 

Therefore, I think that means that I'll have to go with my Plan B which is to simply kidnap a HOT guy and keep him for myself. In fact I already have a certain guy in mind and actually told him yesterday what I was planning to do! However, since I won't be able to set things up for a few weeks I certainly hope quite a few of you guys enjoy his talents in the meantime! ;)

WG - LOL. Get in line!

Well [uSER=9945]@funguy[/uSER] out of the goodness of my heart and since I am really a nice guy, I was giving you and others some time to enjoy this particular individual before putting my plan into motion. Of course, I now have a stinking suspicion that you figured out who it is and as such will beat me to the punch and grab him all for yourself. Well, I guess that's simply the story of my life. Nice guys always do indeed finish last, and some guys are destined to have have all the fun! ;)
