Legendary Hollywood actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor has received her last rites after undergoing surgery at the weekend.
Gabor, 93, had only just been released from hospital last Wednesday after undergoing hip replacement surgery, when she was forced to return to have two blood clots removed on Sunday, one of them situated very close to her heart.
Her publicist John Blanchette said the health of the nine-times married actress had been “up and down” since breaking her hip but that her condition was now serious.
“Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has seen a priest and is not doing very well. She’s in serious condition. She asked to see a priest to receive her last rites,” he said.
“Her husband Frederic von Anhalt is at her side. It is a very difficult time for her family.”
Von Anhalt was with her at the hospital to celebrate their 24th wedding anniversary together. He said she was conscious but barely speaking.
Gabor was previously married to Conrad Hilton, of the Hilton hotel chain and great grandfather of Paris Hilton. They had a child together, Francesca Hilton.
The Hungarian-born actress has been a symbol of Hollywood glamour for decades. She starred in more than 30 films, including Moulin Rouge in 1952 and Touch of Evil in 1958.
