Zsa Zsa seeks entry into glamorous death triad.

Aware of the superstition that celebrity deaths come in threes, she said: "Oh, Jane Russell and Liz Taylor — I'm next."

Blue Ox म्हणाले...: I hope not. I don't have her in my Dead Pool.; २४/३/११, ११:५४ AM
kent म्हणाले...: Give it your best shot, Zsa Zsa!; २४/३/११, ११:५७ AM
Phil 314 म्हणाले...: Why does this feel like a not so subtle wish to be considered in the same breath as Liz Taylor and Jane Russell.

(and maybe from the "how many marriages is it now" standpoint she can be discussed in the same conversation regarding Liz); २४/३/११, १२:०३ PM
The Crack Emcee म्हणाले...: A fine example of how the mind works.

And why a foundation in critical thinking is a must.; २४/३/११, १२:०४ PM
kent म्हणाले...: Why does this feel like a not so subtle wish to be considered in the same breath as Liz Taylor and Jane Russell.

Pfffftt. She'd be lucky to land the third spot in a trio with Mamie Van Doren and Beverly Garland. ;); २४/३/११, १२:०६ PM
vbspurs म्हणाले...: LOL Kent. +1 for Mamie Van Doren.; २४/३/११, १२:११ PM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: Gabor has been in ill health and her right leg was partially amputated in January

I don't think that's what they actually mean. Unless she's walking around with a leg that's been half-sawn through.; २४/३/११, १२:११ PM
kent म्हणाले...: LOL Kent. +1 for Mamie Van Doren.

I came THISclose to going with Tor Johnson in the Garland spot, instead... but then thought: "... too obscure, though...?" ;); २४/३/११, १२:१९ PM
SteveR म्हणाले...: MM: good catch; २४/३/११, १२:२३ PM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: I'm just picturing ZZ walking around, dragging a leg that's not quite attached, and I'm laughing to myself.

I know, I know, I'm going to H@ll for this, but that's okay. All my friends will be there.

wv: gambler.; २४/३/११, १२:३० PM
MayBee म्हणाले...: Hilarious take, Althouse.; २४/३/११, १२:३१ PM
coketown म्हणाले...: Get over yourself, Zsa Zsa. We all know it will be Jane Russell, Liz Taylor, and Betty White. That's the trinity.

Come to think of it...there must be some biennial weed that kills off celebrities. 2009 had a big wave. 2011 is shaping up to be a repeat.; २४/३/११, १२:३३ PM
Christopher in MA म्हणाले...: OK, Kent, you made me google Beverly Garland. Nice, if not my cup of tea. But boy, I'd take MVD and Jayne Mansfield in a trio any time :-)

But I'll up the obscurity sweepstakes (and since I expect Victoria to get it, she can't guess!) - Eva, Magda and Zsa Zsa were our version of the "Marrying Mdivanis."; २४/३/११, १२:४१ PM
X म्हणाले...: I miss George Sanders; २४/३/११, १२:५० PM

Betty White?? Noooooooooooooo!!!

;)

Word Verification: whoble. Whe bulls whoble but whe don't fall down. :D; २४/३/११, १२:५५ PM
coketown म्हणाले...: @Tibore: Sophia in 2008, Dorothy in 2009, Blanche in 2010. It's sad to say, but Rose is next for 2011.; २४/३/११, १:०० PM
kent म्हणाले...: @ChristopherInMA: I'll see your obscurity raise, and raise again with... Dagmar! ;); २४/३/११, १:०२ PM
Christopher in MA म्हणाले...: Not even close, Kent :). I'm a Sinatra fan, too, so I know her from "Mama Will Bark." (sorry, but I never can figure out links).

I see you and raise - Diana Dors.

wv - "jectu." What I wouldn't do to Dagmar.; २४/३/११, १:१० PM
kent म्हणाले...: Fine. Tura Satana, then. I'm easy. ;); २४/३/११, १:१२ PM
Christopher in MA म्हणाले...: Nope. I know her, too. But one of Russ Meyer's best films, I think.

And now I will fold, since I can't think of anybody else of the top of my head (oh, well, Ruth Ellis, but she wasn't a film star by any means). So I tip my metaphorical hat to you, Kent, and ease slowly away from the table. . .; २४/३/११, १:३० PM
kent म्हणाले...: No, no. A draw, absolutely. And masterfully played, sir! [::pushes half of metaphorical chip pile towards Chris::]; २४/३/११, १:३३ PM
David म्हणाले...: Nancy Reagan.

The gipper is still waiting for her.; २४/३/११, २:०६ PM
NotWhoIUsedtoBe म्हणाले...: So much death.; २४/३/११, २:१५ PM
Mr. D म्हणाले...: Zsa Zsa is on the Dina Merrill level. The only elderly female star left that I can think of on Taylor's level is Doris Day.; २४/३/११, २:४३ PM
Rockport Conservative म्हणाले...: So... I'm out of the loop. when did Jane Russel die?; २४/३/११, ६:५० PM
ampersand म्हणाले...: Anyone dismissings Zza Zza's acting chops has never experienced the classic "The Girl in the Kremlin".
The only film brave enough to ask not only if Stalin is still alive but if he really liked to go swimmin with bald headed women.

WV: poonshed. No kidding.; २४/३/११, ९:०० PM
vbspurs म्हणाले...: Zsa Zsa is on the Dina Merrill level. The only elderly female star left that I can think of on Taylor's level is Doris Day.

Good one! Or Sophia Loren.; २५/३/११, १:४७ AM
vbspurs म्हणाले...: Rockport, yeah, shame, Jane popped her clogs on 28 February. One of her last photos.; २५/३/११, १:४९ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Wiki censors truth, removes Celebrity Death Triad entry. What's next. Who's truth matters?; २९/३/११, ७:३० AM
Greg म्हणाले...: Wikipedia doesn't want this story told.; २९/३/११, ९:४६ AM
