ACTRESS Zsa Zsa Gabor, a fixture on Hollywood's social scene for decades, had most of her right leg amputated on Friday to fight a gangrene infection.
Gabor, 93, has been gravely ill since last summer when she fell and broke her hip. She has been in and out of UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center in Los Angeles since July.
Doctors said about three-quarters of Gabor's right leg was removed in the surgery, which they described as successful and without complications. There was no immediate word on when the Hungarian-born Gabor would be released from the hospital.
In November, Gabor was hospitalized when doctors feared a blood clot in her leg might move to her heart. On January 2, she returned to the medical center when an infected lesion developed into gangrene.
She has been married nine times and earned infamy in 1989 when she served a three-day jail term for slapping a policeman who had pulled her over while she was driving.
