Episode 389 - Zsa Zsa Gabor Part 3

In the final episode of the Zsa Zsa Gabor series, Rachel Fisher and Desi Jettigan delve into the tumultuous later years of the legendary Hungarian-born actress and socialite. The episode covers her ninth and final marriage to Prince Frederick von Ahnholt, a self-proclaimed nobleman whose title was purchased from a German title dealer, and the subsequent abuse and isolation of Zsa Zsa in her final years. The hosts examine the 1989 incident where Zsa Zsa slapped a police officer after being harassed and manhandled during a traffic stop, a moment that became a national spectacle, with Zsa Zsa framing herself as a victim of a brutish, sexist cop while simultaneously flirting with the idea of a romantic connection. The episode also explores the bitter power struggle between von Ahnholt and Zsa Zsa’s daughter Francesca Hilton, who fought to protect her mother’s estate and well-being, only to die broke and alone at 67 after years of legal battles and emotional toll. The final years of Zsa Zsa’s life were marked by declining health, partial paralysis, and near-total isolation under von Ahnholt’s control, culminating in her death at 99 in 2016. The episode ends on a bittersweet note, mourning the loss of a larger-than-life icon whose flamboyant persona and scandalous life defined an era of Hollywood glamour, now largely absent in modern celebrity culture.
