The Gabor sisters are three famous Hungarian-American actresses/socialites:
- Magda Gabor 1914-1997
- Zsa Zsa Gabor 1917-present
- Eva Gabor 1919-1995
The Gabors were born in Budapest, Hungary to Vilmos and Jolie Gabor. The family moved to New York in the wake of World War II. Magda had played a small role in a Hungarian film before the war, so Jolie and her three daughters decided to move to Hollywood to break into the movie business.
Their claim to fame, perhaps beyond their acting careers, is that of serial matrimony: They have been married six, eight (or nine; one marriage was illegal and annulled), and five times, respectively. British actor George Sanders was married first to Zsa Zsa and later to Magda.
There is a Gabor line of wigs still sold presently.

Famous quotes containing the words gabor and/or sisters:
“I never hated a man enough to give him diamonds back.”
—Zsa Zsa Gabor (b. 1919)
“The incomprehensibleness of women is an old theory, but what is that to the curious wondering observation with which wives, mothers, and sisters watch the other unreasoning animal in those moments when he has snatched the reins out of their hands, and is not to be spoken to!... It is best to let him come to, and feel his own helplessness.”
—Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897)
