STARS BEHIND BARS: Zsa Zsa Gabor’s trial (A1) recalls another celebrity legal circus. . . . In 1921, silent film star Bebe Daniels drew a 10-day sentence after becoming the first woman convicted of speeding in Orange County. Her stay in the county slammer was less than a hardship, as a local furniture store delivered a bedroom suite and a band played beneath her window in the evenings. . . . Daniels displayed something of Gabor’s imperial air: “I suppose if you live in a small town you get like that,” she said of the sentencing judge. “I bet 56.5 m.p.h. sounds awfully fast if you’ve never driven anything faster than a plow.”
