LEGENDARY Hollywood actress Zsa Zsa Gabor is about to undergo a leg amputation.Admitted to the hospital on Sunday, she requires surgery due to the onset of gangrene on her right leg.
According to her publicist John Blanchette, doctors evaluated a lesion on the 93-year-old’s leg that had reached a foot in length and had become infected.
Blanchette mentioned that her admission in California was postponed as she wished to celebrate New Year’s Eve at home with her customary festivities of champagne and caviar.
He stated, “They will need to amputate part of her leg.”
“They warned that without the procedure, her life could be at risk.”
The Hungarian-born icon gained prominence during the 1950s and 1960s.
A former Miss Hungary from 1936, she has appeared in over 40 films, including Orson Welles’ Touch of Evil, Moulin Rouge, and Queen of Outer Space.
She has had nine marriages throughout her life.
Mr. Blanchette indicated that it is probable her leg will be amputated below the knee.
Last month, it was reported that her husband, Frederic von Anhalt, aged 66, was hospitalized after accidentally applying his wife’s nail glue to his eye, mistaking the tube for eye drops.
Since breaking her hip in July and undergoing hip replacement surgery, her hospital visits have been frequent.
Her latest hospital stay occurred in November due to a leg infection.
Since a car accident in 2002 left her partially paralyzed, she has been relying on a wheelchair. A stroke followed in 2005.
