Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband wants to mount her after she dies

Relax. We’re not talking about necrophilia here, but it’s still pretty damn weird nonetheless.

AFP has the unusual news:

The German husband of ailing 93-year-old Hollywood actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor said he wanted preserve her body by plastination after she dies, the Bild newspaper reported on Thursday.

“My wife has always dreamt that her beauty would be immortal,” Frederic von Anhalt said, “I would like to show the plastinated body of Zsa Zsa Gabor in the context of a scene in one of her films.”

Von Anhalt said German anatomist Gunther von Hagens should carry out the procedure, after his controversial world exhibitions displaying plastinated bodies with just muscles and tendons intact.

Gabor, who has been hospitalised several times in the past months, returned earlier this week to hospital in Los Angeles after von Anhalt had found her unconscious.

Of course, Zsa Zsa has been married nine times, so this won’t be the first time she’s been mounted. But it will be the last.

      Another victim of the new health care legislation?

    • I don't think it is ever nice. Gross would be the word most of us are thinking of.

      Personally, I think it is payback for her famous comment that "German men love to be miserable." I can only imagine her looking down from the Hereafter, knowing that her hubby propped her up like a dime store dummy for all the world to see.

  • “My wife has always dreamt that her beauty would be immortal,”

    I think it is about forty years to late for that.

        • Hey, It would make one hell of a conversation piece... plus, I could put it in my garden to scare away birds... and then Halloween is coming up... the possibilities are endless....

          One free "thumbs up" to anyone who can identify my "name - Necron 99" and where it comes from.... and using a search engine is cheating.

          • Oooo- such a subversive name. So when are you gonna get the job done so you can change your name to Peace?

            Sorry, saw the flick LONG ago but would have to be a wizard to remember the details so had to look it up. No free-thumb for me, just a tall finger. :-(

            Now I have to go see if Iso-Hunt has a download available. ;-)

          • You sir, are correct... I saw 'Wizards' in the theater back when it first came out in 1976 if memmory serves... and loved the character of Necron 99... rumor has it George Lucas was so impressed by Necron 99, that that's where he got the idea for Boba Fett... and as Flava Flave once said, "Ain't no fun 'till the job is done." November is just the start. Maybe then I can change my name to Peace.
