Zsa Zsa Gabor, the Hungarian actress known as much for her own celebrity as her body of work, has died at an indeterminate age, the New York Times reports. Gabor was most likely born in 1917 (making her 99 at the time of her death), but became younger as she got older. In 1952, she told Hedda Hopper she was 29, which would have meant she was born in 1923. In 1982, she sent a document to the press with the following note:
All the lies about my age have been driving me crazy. Every time I read about myself I see I am a different age, usually older than I really am. God knows I am old enough as it is, darling, without adding any years.
Along with the note was what purported to be a Hungarian baptismal certificate and birth registration giving her date of birth as Feb. 6, 1928. If this birthdate were authentic, Ms. Gabor would have had the distinct honor of being crowned Miss Hungary 1936 at the age of eight and married her first husband, Turkish diplomat Burhan Belge, as a nine-year-old. In 1986, she claimed to have been born in the even less likely year of 1930.
RIP :(
