Zsa Zsa Gabor, the longtime socialite and actress, has died at 99.

TMZ reported that she died on Sunday after suffering a heart attack. She was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1917, she starred in the 1952 film, “Moulin Rouge,” and about 80 other films. She often played herself.

She married Frederic Prinz Von Anhalt, who held birthday parties for her in the last few years. In recent years, she suffered from numerous health problems.

Gabor and her sister, Eva, were known socialites in Beverly Hills for decades. 

“All these years later, it’s hard to describe the phenomenon of the three glamorous Gabor girls and their ubiquitous mother. They burst onto the society pages and into the gossip columns so suddenly, and with such force, it was as if they'd been dropped out of the sky,” said TV host Merv Griffin about Gabor and her sister.

Gabor would have turned 100 in February.
