From her young start in beauty pageants to her life in Hollywood, Zsa Zsa Gabor did everything with glitz and glamour.

Beginning her stage career in 1936, the young beauty was crowned Miss Hungary and shortly left her hometown of Budapest,&nbsp;to live out the Hollywood dream. Gabor&#39;s striking beauty and European charm&nbsp;quickly caught the attention of Hollywood names such as film director&nbsp;John Huston who casted her in Moulin Rouge, thus launching her career. But it wasn&#39;t her movies that kept her in the spotlight.

The Hungarian actress took on nine husbands,&nbsp;headlines, paparazzi, and quickly became one of the most significant <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrity-sex-tape-scandals">socialites</a>. Gabor was not only a sex symbol but an example of female empowerment. She wasn&#39;t shy about speaking on her many romances, and once joked, &quot;I am a marvelous housekeeper: Every time I leave a man I keep his house.&quot; Much like Kardashian, every way that Gabor presented herself, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bag-trends-2021-runway-instagram">trend</a> of the times shifted with her. Gabor&#39;s sultry elegance captivated the public and her penchant for extravagance created what the New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/01/fashion/jewelry-diamonds-harry-winston.html" target="_blank">called</a> &quot;the art of being famous for being famous&quot; (another <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/kanye-west-30-million-dollar-lawsuit-sunday-service-labor-practices">Kardashian</a> parallel). On Gabor&#39;s birthday, L&#39;OFFICIEL looks back on the star&#39;s youth and most &quot;Zsa Zsa&quot;&nbsp;moments.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Gabor was too young to compete in Miss Europe, but was crowned Miss Hungary in 1936. Shortly after, she immigrated to the United States in 1941.

The actress wears her signature pin-up blonde ‘do and a diamond necklace.

With a drawn-on beauty mark, Gabor gazes into the camera.
