Zsa Zsa Gabor

"I'm a great housekeeper," Zsa Zsa Gabor once famously said. "Every time I get a divorce, I keep the house." The Hungarian actress–beauty queen–socialite has gained more notoriety for her nine high-profile marriages (followed by seven divorces and one annulment) than for anything she ever starred in. That's in part because she married men like Jack Ryan, the man who invented the Barbie doll; Turkish diplomat Burhan Beige; Joshua Cosden Jr., a Texas socialite; actor George Sanders (pictured here with Gabor) and, most notably, hotel mogul Conrad Hilton. She called them all "Daaahling," once joking she used the pet name because she couldn't keep all of their names straight. During her most recent nuptials, in 1986, when the priest handed her the ring, he said, "I give you this ring, which has no beginning and no end." Zsa Zsa replied, as she slipped the ring onto her husband's finger, "I give you this ring, which has no beginning, and I don't know where the end comes."
