Zsa Zsa Gabor Spends Her 94th Birthday At Her Bel Air Home

Zsa Zsa Gabor has been released from the hospital today, and her condition was a lot worse than anyone had previously known. Prince Frederic von Anhalt says Zsa Zsa had "full blown pneumonia" and that her chances of making it were very slim. He says they gave him the option of pumping her with a lot of antibiotics or putting her on a respirator. They chose the antibiotics.
He says that did the trick and as of today ... the infection is gone, her temperature is back to normal and her blood pressure has returned to normal as well. Zsa Zsa can also breathe well again and she's "back to her normal self."

Zsa Zsa & Conrad Hilton
Zsa Zsa Gabor (born February 6, 1917) is a Hungarian American actress on stage, film and television. She acted on stage in Vienna, Austria at the age of 15, and was crowned Miss Hungary in 1936 when she was 19.She emigrated to the United States in 1941 and became a sought-after actress with "European flair and style", with a personality that "exuded charm and grace".
Her first movie role was as supporting actress in Lovely to Look At starring Red Skelton. She later acted in We're Not Married with Ginger Rogers and Marilyn Monroe. Her first starring role was in Moulin Rouge (1952), directed by John Huston, who described her as a "creditable" actress.Besides her film and television appearances, she is best-known for having nine husbands, including hotel magnate Conrad Hilton and actor George Sanders. She once stated, "Men have always liked me and I have always liked men. But I like a mannish man, a man who knows how to talk to and treat a woman—not just a man with muscles."


Zsa Zsa's infamous arrest:
It was a sunny June day as Zsa Zsa Gabor, actress and author of the gold digger's Bible, The Complete Guide to Men, drove her Rolls Royce Corniche through Beverly Hills. A motorcycle police officer, Paul Kramer, appeared alongside the Rolls and directed her to pull over. He then instructed the actress to hand over her license and registration. Ms. Gabor retrieved both items from the glove compartment. Unfortunately, they had both expired. After a ten-minute wait, while officer Kramer was checking her for priors, Ms. Gabor uttered a few choice words and drove off. Officer Kramer gave chase and pulled Ms. Gabor over again. This time he asked her to step out of the car and she came out swinging, slapping the officer in the face, knocking his regulation sunglasses to the asphalt. Officer Kramer arrested Ms. Gabor and called for back-up to take her to the police station. According to Ms. Gabor's statement, Officer Kramer had handcuffed her so tightly that her wrists were bruised so severely she was unable to attend a charity event that evening. A cursory search of her vehicle turned up a silver flask of bourbon, adding another charge to her arrest. Ms. Gabor was taken to the Beverly Hills police station and booked on five charges. At the station house it was discovered that Ms. Gabor had indeed renewed her registration. However, she had overpaid for it and the ensuing bureaucratic red tape delayed receipt of her now tags. The flask turned out to be the property of Ms. Gabor's eighth husband, Prince Frederick von Anhalt. After leaving the station, Ms. Gabor remarked to assembled reporters that her police experience "was like Nazi Germany." About Officer Kramer, she told People magazine, -You should have seen the hatred in his eyes." As for slapping the officer, she quipped, "I have a Hungarian temper." Later dissatisfied with the trial proceedings in Beverly Hills Municipal Court, which seemed to be heading to a routine sentencing, Ms. Gabor's attorney, Harrison Bull, called six witnesses to support his motion for a new trial. When Judge Charles Rubin denied the motion, Mr. Bull called three witnesses to defend Ms. Gabor's character. Judge Rubin found her guilty of slapping Officer Kramer and of two of the traffic offenses. He then sentenced Ms. Gabor to seventy-two hours in jail, one-hundred-and-twenty hours of community service, and $13,000 in court costs.

Zsa Zsa's daughter Francesca from her marriage to Conrad Hilton says Zsa Zsa's current husband forbids her from visiting her mother.

America Remembers Ronald Reagan Today

                           
Today would have been President Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday.

Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of the United States (1981–1989), the 33rd Governor of California (1967–1975) and prior to that, a Hollywood actor.



The Ronald Reagan Filmography includes a complete list of the motion pictures and/or television screen work in which actor Ronald Reagan appeared, beginning in 1937 and ending in 1965. Reagan, born in Illinois, moved to California where he signed a contract with Warner Brothers studios in 1937. He acted in numerous films, including Love Is on the Air, Cowboy from Brooklyn, and Boy Meets Girl for the first year, and in 1938 he starred alongside Jane Wyman in Brother Rat. They married in 1940, having a child, Maureen, and adopting a son, Michael. The marriage ended in divorce in 1948. During the marriage, Reagan continued to star in flims such as Dark Victory, An Angel from Texas, Knute Rockne All American, and King's Row. After the outbreak of war in the early 1940s, Reagan joined the Army Air Force in 1942. Although his nearsightedness limited him from active duty, he was assigned to the First Motion Picture Unit, producing movies including Beyond the Line of Duty, The Rear Gunner, and This is the Army.
Following military service in the United States Cavalry, Reagan resumed his film work. He met fellow star Nancy Davis in 1950 and they married two years later; the marriage would be one of the closest in U.S. political history, and the couple had two children: Patti and Ron. Although Reagan continued his acting career, making films such as Cattle Queen of Montana, Tennessee's Partner, and Hellcats of the Navy (where he costarred alongside his wife) he did not secure as many roles any longer. Thus, Reagan turned to television, becoming the host of GE's General Electric Theater and later Death Valley Days; he made one last film — The Killers — before retiring as an actor.
Nancy & Ron
Tonight on PBS at 10 PM EST, airs Nancy Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime.
The documentary explores the life of a first lady whose power and influence were often underestimated. Friends, family, historians, members of Ronald Reagan’s political inner circle and the former first lady herself tell the story of Nancy Reagan, from childhood to Hollywood, from Sacramento to Washington, and back to California, where she is still an advocate for issues that are important to her.



Then on Monday night at 9 PM EST, HBO airs "Reagan"

Eugene Jarecki’s new documentary “Reagan,” which explores the “glamorous leading man with the common touch,” debuts on HBO Monday night. Jarecki told FOX411 that most Americans will probably be surprised to learn about the “real” Ronald Reagan, a man he feels is quite different from the one portrayed by the media and history books.
“On all sides of the political spectrum, Americans are greatly misled on who exactly Ronald Reagan was. He is one of the most used and abused figures in American history because many people find it politically convenient to wrap whatever their own privately held agenda is in his wonderful glow and his great personality," Jarecki said. "We are led to believe that Reagan stood for many things that, in many cases, are not the case at all. The real surprise in the film is just that the real Reagan so defies the stereotypes that are cast around him today.”
Jarecki hopes his documentary clears up some misconceptions many have about the 40th President of the United States.
“One of the great myths about Reagan was that he was an amicable dunce – a guy that floated his years throughout the White House and was just the puppet of smarter men. That could not be farther from the truth from what I saw in getting to know Reagan very intimately through the footage and interviews that I did with people who knew and loved him and worked with him, and also people who were very critical of him,” Jarecki said. “He was a shrewd thinker in many ways, and far smarter than people gave him credit for. He was also a man with blind spots and shortcomings. But the idea that he was just a figurehead and not the driving force of his presidency is to not understand that he was really the driving force of a massive life that began with small town roots and ended up in the most powerful office in the world and arguably one of the greatest presidential legacies in the world. That did not happen by accident.”

“The Tea Party is very strongly anti-immigration, and Ronald Reagan was the complete opposite of that,” Jarecki said. “Reagan publicly declared his support for amnesty, I have clips of it in my film, and while doing so, he also signed a bill that gave 2.6 million immigrants amnesty while he was in office.”
Of course times have changed in the past 30 years. For example, in Reagan's era, third parties were of little consequence. John Anderson was the most notable when, having lost in the GOP primaries, he left the party to run as an independent against Reagan and President Carter, garnering just 7 percent of the vote in the 1980 presidential election.
"Reagan" features interviews with many of the President's confidantes, including his White House chief of staff James A. Baker, senior advisor Pat Buchanan, speechwriter Peter Robinson, and CIA operative Frank Snepp. Reagan’s sons Michael and Ron Jr. also lend their insights into their larger-than-life father.
“He wanted to save America, America needed rescuing and he was the one to do something about it,” Ron Jr. says in the film, adding that his mom, Nancy Reagan, was the crucial factor in his success as she longed to be First Lady just as much as he longed to be President.
Unlike the producers behind The Kennedys," who had their miniseries dumped by the History Channel before it wended its way to its final home on the ReelzChannel, Jarecki said he had no problem finding a network to air "Reagan."
“From the start, everyone saw Ronald Reagan as such an extraordinary and relevant person in all of our American conversations today. But it was imperative from the beginning that we had full control of the material and that there not be some private interest of any kind of corrupting how the film was made,” Jarecki, a self-confessed “Eisenhower Republican” added. “I believe Ronald Reagan, who was deeply committed to public policy and its improvement, would want no less than real, fair and thorough journalism.  I don’t agree with him on everything, and I don’t disagree with him on everything, but I can sense the seriousness with which he approached public policy in his life, and I hope this film is consistent with his spirit in that way.”




And tonight during the Super Bowl, a special video tribute will be paid to this great American, President Ronald Reagan as the country honors the centennial of his birth.

God Bless America and God Bless Ronald Reagan, a true American!



In Nancy Reagan news, A Secret Service agent assigned to protect Nancy Reagan is recovering after accidentally shooting himself in the hip at a sheriff's department shooting range. Ventura County sheriff's spokesman Capt. Mike Aranda says the gun went off as the agent was putting it back in its holster Friday in Camarillo. The agent was hospitalized with an injury to his hip. His name was not released.

To read the true love story of Nancy and Ronald Reagan, I recommend the book, I Love You Ronnie: The Letters of Ronald Reagan to Nancy Reagan. A true love story of a dynamic duo , a partnership unlike any other and days gone of a true gentleman.


Happy Birthday Mr. President!
