Zsa Zsa Gabor’s FBI Files Have Been Released – At Least A Small Portion Of Them

Back in August the FBI released a portion of the estimated 2800 pages of their files on Zsa Zsa Gabor. Included in the documents are references to Zsa Zsa dancing with Hitler (reported, not reliably confirmed), Zsa Zsa possibly being a German spy, and investigations into letters written to Magda and their parents (Zsa Zsa had a habit of using intermediaries when it was illegal to do so).

Her earliest files show her having at least eight aliases. To be fair most are due to alternate versions and/or misspellings of her name). One, Gogoeva, cracks me up. The communications showing this name were clearly from both Zsa Zsa and Eva. It is a logical conclusion that they were saving money by combining their names when sending the communication, kind of the equivalent of making up a name to communicate information when making a collect call.

Some of the information is harsh. Eva’s voice is described as “shrill.” Francesca is referred to as a “borderline mentally retarded person with a low IQ.” The information covering one of Zsa Zsa’s robberies hints at her being involved with the event.

Most of the information is just day to day and reveals Zsa Zsa as being completely Zsa Zsa.

Check out the full document over at The Black Vault . While you are at it, you can check out the FBI files on numerous other celebrities.

OTD – Zsa Zsa Gabor Marries Jack Ryan

On January 21, 1975, Zsa Zsa Gabor married inventor Jack Ryan. This was the sixth marriage for Gabor and the second marriage for Ryan. The wedding took place at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Jack Ryan was an engineer and an inventor. While working with Raytheon he designed Sparrow and Hawk missiles. Later, when working for Mattel, he created both Barbie and Chatty Cathy.

The couple divorced a year later. Gabor was quoted as saying, “‘I just couldn’t cope,. There was also the matter of Jack’s dungeon, a torture chamber painted a sinister black and decorated with black fox fur. My knight in shining armour, the inhabitant of a fairytale castle … was a full-blown Seventies-style swinger, into wife-swapping and sundry sexual pursuits as a way of life.’
