Eva Gabor
Eva Gabor was a Hungarian-American actor who worked across film, television, stage, and voice performance during the twentieth century.
Born in Budapest on February 11, 1919, Gabor held citizenship in both Hungary and her adopted country, the United States. She worked in both the Hungarian and English languages over the course of her career, a bilingual range that reflected her origins in Central Europe and her later life in the United States. She died in Los Angeles on July 4, 1995.
Gabor's professional activities spanned multiple performance disciplines. She worked as a film actor, a stage actor, a television actor, and a voice actor, accumulating credits across each of these distinct areas of the entertainment industry. In addition to her performance work, she was also recognized as a socialite, a role that placed her within the broader cultural and social life of her era. Her achievements in the entertainment field were acknowledged with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one of the more concrete markers of recognition that the American entertainment industry confers upon performers.
The breadth of Gabor's work across so many performance formats — from the live context of the stage to the recorded medium of film and television, and extending into voice work — defines the range of her professional identity. Her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame remains a fixed, public record of her place within American entertainment history.
Quotes by Eva Gabor

I’m acting when I serve as a hostess, when I run my wig business. I was born to act, and life itself is the greatest part.

I was the first actress in the family, and I am still the only actress in the family. I shouldn’t be saying it, but it slipped out!

It’s sheer torture. I have to be up with the chickens every day and go to work on my body. I hate it, but I do it.

I’m a workaholic. Before long I’m traveling on my nervous energy alone. This is incredibly exhausting.
