Opinion: Zsa Zsa Gabor’s life was the stuff of legends

To the editor: I worked with Zsa Zsa Gabor on an episode of “City” at CBS around 1991. It was a memorable experience for me, but I think Gabor will be remembered less for her acting and more for being herself. (“Zsa Zsa Gabor dies at 99; she had glamour and husbands in spades,” Dec. 18

Of course she was known for her glamour and beauty, but she actually had a very clever wit, a great sense of humor and she loved to laugh. Hers wasn’t the best way to reach the age of 99, but her life is the stuff of legends.

One thing is for sure: Gabor was an especially unique human being who can never ever be replaced. Rest in peace, Zsa Zsa “dahlink.”

To the editor: In 1992, I was pushing my infant son in his stroller at the La Quinta Arts Festival when the gorgeous Eva Gabor strolled by. Spotting the baby, she gushed, “So dahlink!” and gave him a little peck on the cheek.

A few weeks later, I was dining at Nate ’n Al in Beverly Hills while the baby was nibbling on a bagel the waitress had strung on a ribbon around his neck. Out of nowhere, this time, Zsa Zsa Gabor, in her unmistakable voice cooed, “Oh my God, how dahlink!” The next thing we realized, our son had been bussed by her too.

My son doesn’t quite appreciate it, but perhaps one day he will be able to brag about being one of the few (the only?) men of his generation kissed by not just one, but two of the fabulous Gabor sisters.
