Zsa Zsa Gabor goes home to die

Zsa Zsa Gabor left the hospital Monday afternoon because she “wants to spend her final days at her home,” her publicist said. The actress — who asked for a priest “to read her the last rites” Sunday — is suffering complications from last month’s hip-replacement surgery, but she and her husband decided against additional surgery, publicist John Blanchette said.

Doctors told the 93-year-old showbiz legend the chances of success from the procedure was 50-50, so she chose to go home instead.

An ambulance carried the actress from Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles to her Bel Air, California, home Monday afternoon.

“The doctors did everything they could do,” her husband, Prince Frederic Von Anhalt, said. “The rest is up to her to whether she recovers or not.”

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Gabor and her husband are in financial dire straits after losing $10m to Bernie Madoff in his billion dollar ponzie scheme.

“It’s terribly sad,” a source said. “To have such a fabulous life come down to possibly being booted into the street just brings you to tears.

“If she hadn’t gotten caught up in Madoff’s scheme, Zsa Zsa could go out in the style to which she has been accustomed.

“Now, she’s in the same boat as others who bet their life-savings on the silver-tongued sales pitches of con men.

“The thought of Zsa Zsa going out penniless is tragic. It’s a sad final act in a life that she lived to the fullest.”
