Gabor rushed to hospital after hearing of Taylor's death

Zsa Zsa Gabor has been rushed to hospital after becoming “hysterical” over Dame Elizabeth Taylor’s death.

The 94-year-old screen legend has had a string of health problems in recent months and she was taken to UCLA medical centre after her blood pressure went “through the roof” when she learned her old friend had passed away this morning, a month after fellow veteran actress Jane Russell died.

Gabor’s husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt told RadarOnline.com: “Zsa Zsa said celebrities go in threes and I’m next.”

Gabor was only released from hospital at the beginning this month after struggling with an infection in her left leg. Doctors advised she have the limb amputated – just a month after she lost part of her right leg – but she refused the operation.

After she turned down the surgery, her husband revealed doctors have given her just a 50-50 chance of surviving for another year and admitted she will be bed-ridden for the rest of her life.

He said recently: “We don't expect her to get better. She will be in bed for the rest of her life."

Gabor’s health problems stem from her falling out of bed and breaking her hip last July.
