Anyone else learn about her from "The Far Side"?


I should admit that I learned about Zsa Zsa Gabor from Gary Larson's cartoon The Far Side. The Starship Enterprise encounters her floating head. It was later on that I saw her in movies and TV shows. Particularly funny was her cameo in Naked Gun 2 1/2: the siren is driving around, and then she gets out of a car, slaps the siren, and says "Dees hah-pens every *beep* time I go shopping."

You also gotta love her roles in Touch of Evil (as the strip club owner) and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (wherein she has a brush with a certain blade-fingered slasher), as well as her guest appearance on Gilligan's Island. Growing up in Hungary, she probably never predicted any of this.

I understand that she's known as the original celebrity (in the sense of being famous just for being famous). Her I guess that her accent, catchphrase, and multiple marriages helped.

RIP
