Jolie Gabor is the mother of Eva, Zsa Zsa, and Magda. She was born Janka Tillman on September 30, 1896 in Budapest, Hungary. Jolie was married three times to Vilmos Gabor (father to Eva, Zsa Zsa, and Magda), Howard Peter Christman, and Count Odon Szigethy.
Jolie had a string of jewelry shops in Hungary, which she was forced to close during the German Occupation in WW2. She opened a shop in New York shortly after immigrating to the US. Later, she opened a shop in Palm Springs.
Jolie passed away at the age of 100 on April 1, 1997.
Most people know of Eva and Zsa Zsa, but few know of Magda. She is the oldest of the Gabor sisters. Fun fact, Magda worked with the Hungarian resistance. Being a Gabor was more than just being a pretty faced celebrity and socialite.
