Hungarian-American actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor passed away last December at the grand age of ninety-nine.

Although perhaps better known for her lavish lifestyle and many husbands, including hotel magnate and Paris Hilton’s great-grandfather Conrad Hilton and Oscar-winning British actor George Sanders, she also carved quite the movie career too.

In 1952, she starred in John Huston’s Oscar-winning Moulin Rouge as can-can dancer Jane Avril and in briefly in Orson Welles’ acclaimed film noir Touch of Evil in 1958.

Her later career included films as diverse as comedy whodunit Every Girl Should Have One and horror A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and, always willing to send herself up, she often appeared in self-parodying cameo roles as in the Leslie Nielsen comedy sequel The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear.
