NAMES IN THE NEWS : Zsa Zsa’s Rolls--No Glamour
From Times Staff and Wire Service Reports
TULSA, Okla. —
Zsa Zsa Gabor’s Rolls-Royce had no star appeal for bidders at the annual Bennett Investor Auction, who offered less than half the value.
“Perhaps the right-wing audience didn’t respond to it,” Terry Cooper, spokesman for the auction, said Monday.
Auctioneers said the actress was driving the Rolls when she had her renowned run-in with a Beverly Hills motorcycle policeman. A California jury convicted her of charges alleging that she slapped the officer after he stopped her.
The Rolls drew a $23,000 bid, Cooper said. Appraisers estimated that the Rolls was worth more than twice that, he said.
