LOS ANGELES: Ailing 93-year-old Hollywood socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor was found "unresponsive" by her husband on Tuesday and was rushed to the emergency room, her publicist said.
"About 11:00 am (1700 GMT), Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband called 911 today after finding his wife unresponsive. The actress was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centre" said Gabor's representative John Blanchette.
The actress was hospitalised on July 17 after falling and breaking her hip. She underwent hip replacement surgery but suffered more complications, including a blood clot for which she had more surgery.
Two weeks ago, she called in a priest to administer last rites, then left the hospital a day later insisting that she wanted to be back in her Bel Air home.
The Hungarian-born actress and former beauty queen's lengthy film career includes spots in a dozen films and television series, including John Huston's 1952 "Moulin Rouge" and the 1958 film noir "Touch of Evil" by Orson Welles. She also lent her voice to several animated films and TV series.
But the platinum blonde is especially known for her flamboyant lifestyle, legal troubles, nine marriages and a propensity to call just about everyone "darling" with her distinctive accent.
