Report: Ailing Zsa Zsa Gabor Returns Home Again

Zsa Zsa Gabor is back in the comfort of her Bel Air, California home. John Blanchette, the publicist for the actress, said on Monday that his client is declining additional surgery to address her ongoing health issues. She's experienced a number of medical problems since having hip replacement surgery last month. Doctors are now recommending that the Hungarian-born star undergo a procedure on her liver which offers a 50-percent rate of survival. But Blanchette says Gabor, whom he describes as "in and out of consciousness," has opted to, quote, "spend her final days at home." On Sunday, while still in the hospital, Gabor asked to see a priest and receive her last rites.

Gabor re-entered the UCLA Medical Center last Friday to undergo surgery for blood-clotting issues also stemming from her hip operation. The "Touch Of Evil" actress was readmitted just two days after she was discharged from the facility following an extended stay. Gabor, who was left partially paralyzed after a 2002 car accident, broke her hip after falling out of bed on July 17th.

Though questions linger about her exact birthdate, the many-times married Gabor is believed to be 93 years old. She was the middle of three glamorous sisters who captivated film and television audiences in the 1950s and '60s. Gabor's work includes the movies "Moulin Rouge," "Lili" and "Touch Of Evil."
