Zsa Zsa Gabor in hospital over blood clots

Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has been admitted to a Los Angeles hospital with painful swelling in her legs.

Her spokesman John Blanchette said Gabor, 93, was admitted to Ronald Reagan UCLA Hospital yesterday after a doctor visited her at home, and said she had massive blood clots in her legs which could make her vulnerable to a heart attack.

The Hungarian-born actress has been taken to hospital several times this year and asked for a priest to read her the last rites in August.

Since the summer she has undergone surgery to remove clots from her upper body and has had hip replacement surgery.
