Quotes of the Day for 6 February 2010 – Zsa Zsa Gabor
On this day in 1917, Sari Gabor was born at Budapest, Hungary. One of the problems of being driven by the calendar is the occasional abrupt transitions, such as going from the sublime (Adlai Stevenson yesterday) to the ridiculous. Gabor claims to have been Miss Hungary in 1936, but she isn't the only one. She adopted the name "Zsa Zsa" and came to the US in 1941 to collect jewelry, husbands (nine, only one of the first eight lasted over five years, although she has now been married to the same man since 1986), and all the headlines she could get. Although she did act in over 75 movies, as far as anyone can tell she got rich and famous by being rich and famous. She dropped a few choice quotes along the way.
