Zsa Zsa Gabor rushed to hospital for blood clot

LOS ANGELES, Nov 13, (AFP) - Ailing 93-year-old Hollywood socialite and actress Zsa Zsa Gabor was rushed to hospital Friday in Los Angeles to treat a large blood clot, her publicist said.“She was complaining this morning of pain in her leg and swelling,” John Blanchette said.

Doctors examined Gabor at her Bel Air home and determined that she had developed a massive blood clot. She was rushed to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center around 1:30 pm (2130 GMT) after they feared it could move to her heart, according to Blanchette.

It was only the latest in a series of health complications and hospital visits by Gabor in recent months.
The actress was hospitalized in July after falling and breaking her hip. She underwent hip replacement surgery but suffered more complications, including a blood clot for which she had more surgery.

During another hospital stay in August, she called in a priest to administer last rites, then left the hospital a day later insisting that she wanted to be back at home in her posh Bel Air neighborhood with her colorful German husband, Frederic von Anhalt.

The Hungarian-born actress's lengthy film career includes spots in a dozen films and television series, including John Huston's 1952 “Moulin Rouge” and the 1958 film noir “Touch of Evil” by Orson Welles. She also lent her voice to several animated films and TV series.

But the platinum blonde is especially known for her flamboyant lifestyle, legal troubles, nine marriages and a propensity to call just about everyone “darling” with her distinctive accent.
