It's Only a Hip, Dahling



Zsa Zsa Gabor, now 93, apparently broke a hip and several other bones last weekend when she fell out of bed in an attempt to answer the phone. She underwent successful hip replacement surgery today, and her doctors are said to be pleased.


Her ninth husband, the younger (and equally eccentric) Price Frederic von Anhalt, 65, said the unfortunate incident was "bad luck" that could happen to anyone. He also noted that if her recovery did not go as planned, he would skip his plans to run for Governor of California.


In other Hollywood Legend News, Titanic Oscar nominee Gloria Stuart celebrated her 100th birthday over the 4th of July in a glamorous party hosted by James Cameron. It was also announced that the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences would host a tribute to Stuart July 22, with clips from her decades-long career and a conversation between her and friend Leonard Maltin.


Along with Luise Rainer, who also turned 100 earlier this year, Stuart is one of the last leading lady legends of 1930s Hollywood. She made history in 1998, when she became the oldest Oscar acting nominee for Titanic at age 87. She is the sole surviving member of the original board of the Screen Actors Guild, which she helped develop in the early 1930s.
