Zsa Zsa Gabor slated
for surgery on legs

LOS ANGELES — Zsa Zsa Gabor, who is partially paralyzed from a 2002 car accident, was set to have surgery Tuesday for a severe infection in her legs. The operation was scheduled at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said John Blanchette, publicist for the 90-year-old actress. Gabor has been forced to use a wheelchair and walker since the auto accident, leading to infections in her legs. “She’s been inactive for the last four years,” Blanchette said. Gabor, who is a native of Hungary, had an apparent stroke in 2005 and underwent emergency surgery to clear a blocked artery. Her screen credits include “Moulin Rouge” in 1952 and “Queen of Outer Space” in 1958. She has also appeared on TV specials and game shows.
