Long before Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, there was Zsa Zsa, dahlink — famous for being famous. Although she appeared in films, Gabor cemented her celebrity (some would say notoriety) as a larger-than-life persona, particularly on television.

Let’s be clear: She was in on the joke before anyone else could crack one about her fabulously theatrical antics. As early as the 1950s, Gabor, who died Sunday at 99, was a fixture on late-night TV. David Letterman once dubbed her “one of the all-time great talk-show guests.”

Here are some of her more outrageous moments that remind us there will never be another diva quite like Zsa Zsa.
