The 94-year-old, who has been in ill health, reportedly began screaming "I'm next!" Legendary film star and beauty Elizabeth Taylor had been friends with Gabor for 30 years. Taylor died of congestive heart failure Wednesday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after being treated there for six weeks.
"Zsa Zsa said: 'Celebrities go in threes and I'm next,'" Frederic Von Anhalt, who is Gabor's husband, told RadarOnline.
Gabor spent five days in the hospital last month, after she fell ill with pneumonia. Taylor visited Gabor during that hospital stay. The meeting was not a happy one, Von Anhalt said.
"It was a tearful reunion and a very sad, tragic goodbye," he told RadarOnline. "Liz sat in her wheelchair beside my wife, who was laying in bed. They both knew it would probably be the last time they’d see each other, and – with Liz’s death today – it was."
The pair were reportedly close friends.
Gabor is a Hungarian-born actress who starred in such 1950s films as "Moulin Rouge" and "Touch of Evil."
Her health began to fail in 2002, when she was injured in a car wreck. In 2005, she suffered from a stroke. In July, she underwent hip-replacement surgery and last month her leg was amputated because of an infection.
Her publicist, John Blanchette, had recently said Gabor's health was improving.
"They did a magnificent job getting her back," he said. "They treated her with an aggressive treatment of antibiotics. The doctors said it was 50-50, but it worked."
