Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, best known for her role in the 1952 Moulin Rouge and her extravagant lifestyle, died yesterday at age 99 after suffering a heart attack. The Hungarian socialite and great-step-grandmother of Paris Hilton often played herself, and lived a fabulous life in Beverly Hills with her sisters Eve and Magda. Some might say the Kardashians have the Gabors to thank when it comes to paving the way for the fascination with stylish Hollywood families. See the best photos that capture the European sensation’s opulence throughout the years, from her love of diamonds and leopard print to her ability to still look glamorous even in a mug shot, by clicking our slideshow ahead.
