Zsa Zsa Gabor had 9 husbands, a film career and spent time in jail for slapping a cop in 1989. She was pushed back into the spotlight after that routine stop by a Beverly Hills policeman. She hadn't worked as an actress in years. There were only 4 TV networks back in 1989 and each had a late evening talk show. Johnny Carson was the "king of late night" and he reveled in Gabor slapping that cop. The jokes were endless...,
Her court trial was fodder for gossip rags and she was all drama. She also made fun of herself on TV sitcoms like, "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" where a cop was slapped in front of her. Gabor was sentenced to 3 days in jail and it seems that, that's what she would be remembered for. She was glamorous in her prime and even a legend grew over a non-appearance on "The Tonight Show." She supposedly brought a cat with her. Check out Jane Fonda's story/legend when she asks Carson about that cat.
