Zsa Zsa Gabor, Hollywood socialite and one of the first ‘famous for being famous’ celebrities, has died aged 99. She married nine times, outstripping her elder sister’s six weddings, and her mother and other sister’s three weddings apiece.
Born 6 February 1917 8.08pm Budapest, Hungary she came to the US during World War 11. Her mother had a jewellery store and pushed her daughters towards acting and publicity.
Zsa Zsa was unashamedly flamboyant and wittily upfront about her approach to men and marriage.
“I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back.”
“To be loved is a strength. To love is a weakness.”
“Husbands are like fires. They go out when unattended.”
On former husband George Sanders: “We were both in love with him. I fell out of love with him but he didn’t.”
She had a 5th house Sun Uranus Mars in Aquarius, so loved socialising and having an audience, was volatile, explosive, stubborn and never scared to take a risk. Aquarians often make good comedians. She also had Saturn in Cancer (and Neptune in Leo) opposition Venus Mercury in Capricorn square an 8th house Jupiter in Aries. Venus Saturn can be promiscuous which plus an independent-minded Aquarius Sun Uranus and argumentative Mars would not make long term relationships easy. Her Jupiter in Aries hints at an ability to attract money as does her Jupiter square Neptune. She was born at the time of the Leo Full Moon so she’d certainly enjoy a five-star lifestyle but again would be ambivalent about close relationships .
She also had Pluto in the 10th which can often go with becoming a ‘legend’, is highly controlling, and a sign of her mother’s stage-pushiness at getting her daughters out into the public arena. Her mother died aged 100.
Why is Zsa Zsa being compared to the Kardashians’ surely a different astrological set-up?
Jennifer, that was her main strength, her wonderful quips, people just loved her, even though they knew she was naughty and spoilt.
hello, love or loathe Zsa Zsa Gabore, your choosing……! Independent woman…..socialite with humour, the list is endless but will be missed, Kardashions, TAKE AWAY make up, frivolous conversation, narcicism ( egocentrism ), anything else is z list tv, phft…..
Sure I know what you mean. The KK lot do seem v humourless. Zsa Zsa at least had the saving grace of wit in the midst of all that Liberace flummery. Dorothy Parker also savagely funny had Sun Mars in Virgo in the 5th square Jupiter Pluto, and sextile Uranus – more erudite but that 5th house Mars packs a punch.
Thanks for changing the heading Marjorie
All the best
I don’t know that I would say a …. kardashian’. I haven’t heard a kardashian come out with witty one liners like she did. From the little I read or heard on TV of her as much as she was extremely extravagant she had personality and seemed amusingly charmingly. You had to smile at some of the things she said. I can’t imagine Kim, Khloe (coarse and vulgar) or the others coming out with anything near as entertaining as Zsa Zsa.
