Here are just a few of Gabor’s highlights, as quoted in TIME over the years: During a public feud with then-husband George Sanders[ in 1951](http://time.com/vault/issue/1951-11-19/page/48): “A woman has the right to quarrel with her husband in the afternoon because it is so much fun to make up in the evening.” [_Get your history fix in one place: sign up for the weekly TIME History newsletter_](http://time.com/newsletter) When sued for $1 million[ in 1952](http://time.com/vault/issue/1952-08-25/page/34) by the French actress Corinne Calvert, for saying that Calvert wasn’t actually French: “It’s much easier to get a million dollars out of a rich husband than it is out of another actress.” While waiting for her then-beau Porfirio Rubirosa to finalize his divorce[ in 1955](http://time.com/vault/issue/1955-03-21/page/40): “I am a very faithful girl even when I’m not married. When Rubi isn’t around, I only date old friends and ex-husbands.” During an insult-war with Marlene Dietrich[ in 1956](http://time.com/vault/issue/1956-09-24/page/36), referring to Dietrich’s age: “I always was a great admirer of Marlene’s, but so was my mother and so was my father.” When Jack Paar said[ in 1958](http://time.com/vault/issue/1958-06-16/page/78) that, when he first saw her he wanted her as a guest on his show “right away”: “Nobody gets me right away.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4605879/zsa-zsa-gabor-quotes-one-liners/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4605879/zsa-zsa-gabor-quotes-one-liners/"},"headline":"5 of Zsa Zsa Gabor’s Great One-Liners","datePublished":"2016-12-19T01:39:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T02:21:36.402Z","description":"Gabor has died at 99","url":"https://time.com/4605879/zsa-zsa-gabor-quotes-one-liners/","keywords":["remembrance"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd3f684552ad19321/6988b35a0a4a222a349cc61f/zsa-zsa.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"History","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd3f684552ad19321/6988b35a0a4a222a349cc61f/zsa-zsa.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Zsa Zsa Gabor","caption":"Zsa Zsa Gabor","creditText":"Hulton Archive / Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/history/","name":"History"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/remembrance/","name":"remembrance"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4605879/zsa-zsa-gabor-quotes-one-liners/","name":"5 of Zsa Zsa Gabor’s Great One-Liners"}}]}] ```
