Hungarian-born actress, best known as Lisa Douglas, the wife of Eddie Albert`s character Oliver Wendell Douglas, on Green Acres. Her elder sisters, Zsa Zsa Gabor and the late Magda Gabor, were also actresses and socialites. All three siblings were well known for their many marriages and divorces.
Eva Gabor died on July 4, 1995, aged 76, from respiratory failure and pneumonia in Los Angeles, California following an accident in which she lost her balance and fell into her bathtub in Mexico, where she had been on vacation.

I`m acting when I serve as a hostess, when I run my wig business. I was born to act, and life itself is the greatest part. My first husband, yes, I eloped with him from Hungary against my mother`s wishes. I was the first actress in the family, and I am still the only actress in the family. I shouldn`t be saying it, but it slipped out! There was no way I could live in Hollywood and not become an actress. Most people don`t need to work as hard as I do. I ask myself more questions than Hamlet as I ponder which shoes to wear. I`m a workaholic. Before long I`m traveling on my nervous energy alone. This is incredibly exhausting. After all the work I`ve done, why should I suddenly be treated as a bona fide actress? The only thing you have to know are your words. I learned early that you only have so much energy to give. You have to spend it correctly. All any girl needs, at any time in history, is simple velvet and basic diamonds. I made up my mind to be an actress when I was 4 years old. My co-workers expect me to be late and temperamental. I`ve always known I would be a success, but I was surprised at the way it came. If a man is truly in love, the most beautiful woman in the world couldn`t take him away. Maybe for a few days, but not forever. It`s sheer torture. I have to be up with the chickens every day and go to work on my body. I hate it, but I do it. I should have been smart enough to stay happy. But my ambition ruled my life. Love is a game that two can play and both win. East Hampton happens to have been the first place in the world where I was a star, a real star with a star pasted above my name on the dressing-room door. Marriage is too interesting an experiment to be tried only once. The average housewife goes to the restaurant to relax and enjoy the food. But when Eva walks in, she becomes the center of attention. "All any girl needs, at any time in history, is simple velvet and basic diamonds."
