Zsa Zsa Gabor

Zsa Zsa Gabor, the actress and one-time Miss Hungary, famously quipped about her prowess in marital negotiations, joking, “I am a perfect housekeeper: every time I divorce, I keep the house.” Her matrimonial ventures reached an astonishing count of nine husbands, featuring a diverse array of partners from Turkish political writer Burhan Asaf Belge to hotel magnate Conrad Hilton, actor George Sanders, banker Herbert Hutner, Jr., and even Jack Ryan, the mind behind the Barbie doll.

One of her marriages, to Felipe de Alba, was notably brief, lasting just a single day before being annulled, prompting a quip that she desired solitude. However, her search for companionship didn’t end there; she found lasting love with Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, whom she married in 1986. Their union endured until Gabor died in 2016, when she was 99 years old, marking a rare long-term commitment in her colorful and storied romantic history.
