Fabulous Threesome

This is a wonderful book about the famous Gabor girls and their families. Very interesting reading and very educational as to who these three ladies really were. The pictures within the covers of this book are all of the best quality and the pictures of the items bearing their names a very good guide to those who are interested in collecting Gabor Memorabilia. I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the Gabor family and the way the girls moved through society to become accomplished in entertainment and in high society. Davit Boats

Those Fabulous Gabors

This book was purchased as a birthday gift for a friend who is Hungarian and has always love the Gabor sisters. I'm sure whe will love it.

Wonderful Read

This is an excellent telling of the extraordinary lives of the Gabor women. It is written in a story telling fashion, not simply reciting the events interjected with commentary. I would greatly recommend this to anyone looking for an entertaining book.

~I LOVE THIS BOOK~

This is an amazing book. When I first started to read it, it captured me and I coulden't put the book down! A book acually worth reading. If you enjoyed this book there are some others I recommed like "One Lifetime Is Not Enough", "Zsa Zsa Gabor", "Orchids and Salami". THIS REVIEW ID DEDICATED TO THOSE WONDERFUL GABORS!!! ~Always Lorraine~

THE GABORS.

I have a copy of "SUCH DEVOTED SISTERS: THOSE FABULOUS GABORS, and it's a very good book. It tells about their childhood in Hungary, then coming over here to the United States during World War II, and getting themselves established as international superstars.Although Zsa Zsa's life has been full of scandal, Eva had very little scandal in her life. I can certainly understand why Eva was devastated after hearing that her last two husbands had cheated on her and were having affairs, and never remarried again after that. She hated cheating and lying, and because she was very hurt by these last two divorces, she managed to pull herself together and move on.This book needs to be updated because a lot has happened since this book was first published in 1985. Zsa Zsa was arrested for slapping a Beverly Hills police officer in 1989, went on trial for it, was found guilty, and sentenced to three days in jail. Their mother Jolie's third husband died in 1990. It should also tell about Eva's untimely illness and sudden death in 1995. On June 20 of that year, she went to Mexico on a week's vacation, and while she was there, she fell and broke her hip. She was then taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and upon be admitted, her lungs will already filling up with fluid. She was diagnosed with viral pneumonia and given antiobotics and medication, but then she fell into a coma and died on July 4, America's 219th birthday. Unfortunately, her longtime friend and companion Merv Griffin was in Atlantic City at the time of her death, but he did go to the funeral, which was held on Saturday, July 8 at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills.Jolie died on April 1, 1997 at the age of 101, and Magda died of a kidney infection just two months later, on June 6, just three days before her 80th birthday. Isn't it ironic that Eva died on the Fourth of July, Jolie on April Fools' Day, and Magda on the anniversary of both the D-Day invasion and the day that Bobby Kennedy was killed. With the deaths of Eva, Jolie, and Magada (their father, Vilmos died back in the early 60's. He stayed in Hungary, and did not come to America.), Zsa Zsa is now the only surviving Gabor. Zsa Zsa has sort of stayed out of the spotlight ever since Eva died. I have read in the tabloids that she misses her mother and sisters dearly and just simply talks about the old days. Zsa Zsa should understand that Eva, Jolie, and Magda are in a better place today, and that she will one day see them again. In fact, in a 1997 article of "THE GLOBE", which was published at the time of Magda's death, Zsa Zsa said that there'll be so much fun in Heaven when all the Gabors are there, and guess who's going to be there with them; me.I had been a big fan of Eva since 1966 when I first saw her on "GREEN ACRES", and when I heard the news of her death, I couldn't believe it at first. But then in August of '97, my cable company added TV Land to it's lineup, which at the time was airing t
