Zsa Zsa Gabor (then known as Sara, or Sari Belge) makes her first trip to the United States. She is married to Burhan Belge, a Turkish diplomat, and plans to spend four months at the Beverly Hills home of her younger sister Eva, an actress.

After having her marriage to Belge annulled, Gabor marries wealthy hotel magnate Conrad N. Hilton in New Mexico. He is 55. She is in her 20s.

Gabor is granted a divorce from Hilton, with whom she has a daughter, Francesca. When she sued for divorce the previous year, Gabor said she planned to ask for $10 million — money she said she would give to European war refugees. At right, Gabor and Hilton together in1954 at Ciro’s in Hollywood.

Gabor announces plans to wed actor George Sanders. They marry the following day in Las Vegas. The union is Gabor’s third and Sanders’ second. News reports say that by remarrying, she gave up $25,000 a year in alimony from Hilton.

Gabor denies romancing Porfirio Rubirosa, a Dominican diplomat, during his days-long marriage to heiress Barbara Hutton. Gabor, who had previously had a volatile affair with Rubirosa, tells The Times “I plan to marry nobody.”

Gabor marries her fourth husband, industrialist Herbert L. Hutner. She says of the marriage: “I am going to work very hard to make it my last.” Hutner is chairman of the board of directors of Struthers Wells Corp. of Harrison, N.Y. This is Hutner’s second marriage.They divorce less than four years later.

One day after divorcing Hutner, Gabor picks up a license in Santa Monica to wed for a fifth time, telling reporters she had met the groom, Dallas petroleum executive Joshua S. Cosden Jr., six weeks earlier at a party. Gabor and Cosden marry Mar. 6, 1966 and divorce the next year.

In an interview with The Times titled ‘How to Catch Man,’ Gabor advises: ‘Never let a man be too sure of you. He finds this boring.’

Gabor’s third husband, George Sanders, is found dead in Spain. Sanders, who took his own life, had also been married briefly to Gabor’s older sister, Magda. Zsa Zsa says she is heartbroken by his death, calling him “the major love of my life.”

Three days after divorcing Jack Ryan, Gabor marries Beverly Hills attorney Michael O’Hara in the bridal suite of the Las Vegas Hilton. This is O’Hara’s fourth marriage.

Gabor marries Felipe de Alba on a yacht off Puerto Vallarta in early April. But the ceremony proves invalid because her divorce from O’Hara was not final. Gabor later cancels a second wedding with De Alba, planned for July. “He bored me,” says Gabor. “He’s a playboy and I’m a hard-working actress.”

Gabor announces plans to marry again. Her eighth husband, Prince Frederick von Anhalt, is more than 25 years younger than her. Sister Eva and mother Jolie boycott the Aug. 14 ceremony at Zsa Zsa’s Bel-Air home after a German newspaper reports that Von Anhalt is a convicted con man who bought his German title.
