Zsa Zsa Got Her Start In Operetta

The media have been full of the fact that Miss Gabor just turned 99. But I’ve been reveling in the little-known tidbits. That she got her start, for example, in Vienna, at the age of 17, in an operetta, after being discovered by the famous Austrian tenor Richard Tauber. Can you imagine Zsa Zsa singing “Vilja” from “The Merry Widow”? Hardly. More like something — Zsa Zsa’s been married 9 times — from “The Gay Divorcee.”
