NAMES IN THE NEWS : Delta Ousts Zsa Zsa and Her Dogs

A fuming Zsa Zsa Gabor was escorted off a Delta Air Lines jet by five policemen Thursday night when she repeatedly refused an agent’s request that she keep her two Shih Tzu dogs in their carrier cases.

The 69-year-old actress, flying from Los Angeles to Palm Beach, Fla., said the dogs, Genghis Khan and Macho Man, weren’t disturbing anyone. But a Delta spokesman said “passengers complained.” He said the pilot asked Gabor to put the dogs back in their kennels when she first removed them, and a Delta agent came aboard and asked Gabor six times to comply. “Each time he was responded to with considerable vulgarity,” he said.

Gabor, surrounded by 15 pieces of luggage, an assistant and her dogs, fumed inside the airport. “I was so upset you can’t imagine,” she said. “This is not the end of this.”
