Book Description
Zsa Zsa, Eva and Magda Gabor transferred their glittery dreams and gold-digging ambitions from the twilight of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Hollywood. There, more effectively than any army, these Bombshells from Budapest broke hearts; amassed fortunes, lovers, and A-list husbands; and amused millions of voyeurs through the medium of television, movies and the social registers. Those Glamorous Gabors demonstrates that wit, charm, ruthlessness and beauty can indeed go a long way toward the realisation of the American Dream.

About the Author
HUNGARIAN RHAPSODIES: Celebrity biographer Darwin Porter, a former entertainment columnist for The Miami Herald, has been fascinated by the Gabor’s “new Hungarian dynasty” since he first began entertaining Jolie Gabor, the family’s savvy matriarch, at his home in New York City in collaboration with the publication of one of her cookbooks. Since then, his interest in the Budapest Bombshells (aka the Man-Eating Magyars) has carried him into the salons, some of them in Austria and Hungary, of dozens of eyewitnesses, each eager to share their insights into the tricks and techniques of some of the greatest courtesans of the 20th century.
