Zsa Zsa Gabor - the Hollywood glamour girl par excellence who called everyone 'darling' - died on Sunday 18th December at the age of 99. The Hungarian actress was famed for her glamorous lifestyle, her taste for luxury and her extravagant love life. Her career began on Vienna's stages in the 1930s, but it wasn't long before Hollywood was calling. She moved to America to play lead roles in Lovely to Look At (1952), We're Not Married! (1952) and Moulin Rouge (1952), draped in diamonds, fur, and plunging dresses.
Though perhaps more glitzy and fascinating than her on-screen charm was her myriad of romances. Her almost century-long life involved no less than nine marriages - including a dalliance with the creator of the Barbie Doll, Jack Ryan. She leaves behind her longest-standing husband, Frédéric Prinz von Anhal, who she married in 1986. It was the experiences of the men who came in and out of her life that inspired some of her most memorable quotes, so we round up the best.
