Zsa Zsa Gabor reads "One Lifetime Is Not Enough," pt. 1

From Publishers Weekly:

Zsa Zsa Gabor finally reveals the intimate details of her remarkable life. From her childhood in Hungary, her triumphs, disappointments and struggles, of her nine marriages and the lovers in between, Zsa Zsa tells all. “I want a man who appreciates the finer things in life… diamonds, furs and me.”

Writing with freelancer Wendy Leigh, actress/singer/diamond lover Zsa Zsa Gabor presents what one might call a kiss-and-tell book, revealing, among other intimate disclosures, that at 15 she lost her virginity to Kemal Ataturk, founder of modern Turkey. (“For the rest of my life I would search for another god to eclipse him.”) She is charmingly straightforward about her many affairs and just as openly discusses her many marriages and ever-close family. She also tells her side of the famous slapping incident with a Beverly Hills cop. In the end, Gabor comes across as a frank, spontaneous woman who craves intimacy, excitement and power but tends to fall in love with difficult men, most notably professional cad George Sanders. A bonus for the reader are the sometimes pathetic come-on lines she has been subjected to by rich and famous men. For example, running into Gabor on the street in Manhattan, CBS head William Paley once suggested spending the afternoon in bed together, which she was inclined to do, but then he offended her, and botched the affair, by promising her a TV show if she would.
