T h e r e is a great deal more to Zsa Zsa Gabor than the public image that she has become via the world press—the epitome of femininity and glamorous interna tional life. It is true that her life has been seldom dull—and when it was, she did something about it—but behind the pop ular con cep tion there is a com plex woman, a fabulous life story, and an ingredient which is not part of the typical girl-next-door. It is this effervescent, often quixotic quality, this life and the circumstances directing it, that Gerold Frank has interpreted here. “How do I commit champagne to paper?” he won dered at first.
But Zsa Zsa Gabor has told everything to Gerold Frank with the natural candor that is hers. Her early life with her family in Hungary, her education in Switzer land, her first stage appearance at the age o f fifteen in Vienna will provide a clue. Her early marriage to a high official of the Turkish government and all that it required of a young girl in a strange land wili add to the understanding. Sparing no details, here is Zsa Zsa Gabor as she first arrived in America, the story of her m eeting and m arriage w ith C onrad Hilton, of the first moment she fell in love with George Sanders and of that ecstatic if stormy marriage that paral leled her first career successes in this country, of her friendship with Porfirio Rubirosa. Princes, potentates, interna tional celebrities frequent these pages, for these are the people who are part of this life. Gerold Frank reveals, beyond the gaiety and parties, a full-length por trait of one o f the most fascinating women of our time.
