Zsa Zsa Gabor and her sister Eva actually gained their noteriety in the USA. Bridget Bardot was probably more of the European Marilyn. Diana Dors, from England, was definitely groomed for the spot but couldn't quite carry it off.

Gábor was born in Budapest, the second of three daughters (Magda, Sári, and Ãva) born to Vilmos Gábor, a soldier, and Jolie Gábor (Janci Tilleman). She was named after the then top Hungarian actress Sári Fedák, who was also called Zsa Zsa because her daughter couldn't pronounce the name Sári. Gabor's maternal family was Jewish and her maternal grandparents died in the Holocaust. Biographers speculate that her paternal family were originally Jewish as well, but converted to Roman Catholicism in order to assimilate, although this has not been confirmed.
Following studies at a Swiss boarding-school, Zsa Zsa won the Miss Hungary beauty contest, in 1936, but was disqualified for being "underage." On a trip to Vienna the same year, she was discovered by the famous tenor Richard Tauber, and was invited to sing the soubrette rôle in his new operetta, Der singende Traum ("The Singing Dream"), at the Theater an der Wien. This was her first stage appearance and, at the time, she had an romance with a composer named Willi Schmidt-Kentner, according to the 1960 "bio-autobiography," Zsa Zsa Gábor, by Gerold Frank.
