Zsa Zsa Gabor, the iconic Hollywood actor and socialite, has been remembered at the 89th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. A veteran of dozens of films, the Hungarian emigre moved to the US in 1941.
Her first starring role was in Moulin Rouge (1952), directed by John Huston, which preceded Gabor attaining cult figure status by starring in 1950s B-movies including Queen of Outer Space, in which she played a rebel Venusian who falls in love with four Earthmen whom her man-hating queen wants to destroy.
Later, she maintained her profile with film and TV cameos. She made one such appearance in The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991), in a scene that appeared to make fun of her real-life conviction for slapping a police officer in a traffic incident.
Gabor won few awards, but did walk away with the coveted most glamorous actress prize at the 1958 Golden Globe awards. That award has since been discontinued.
After many years of ill health, Gabor died aged 99 in December 2016 of a heart attack.
