Zsa Zsa Gabor rushed to hospital, says 'I'm next'

Zsa Zsa Gabor's publicist says the shock of Elizabeth Taylor's death made Gabor fear she was next and sent her to the hospital with high blood pressure

Zsa Zsa Gabor's publicist says the shock of Elizabeth Taylor's death made Gabor fear she was next and sent her to the hospital with high blood pressure.

John Blanchette says the 94-year-old celebrity was watching the news at her home when she learned her friend and one-time neighbour had died.



Blanchette says Gabor was inconsolable and commented, "Oh, Jane Russell and Liz Taylor I'm next." That's a reference to the common myth that celebrity deaths come in threes.

Blanchette says Gabor's blood pressure soared and she was taken to the hospital.

Gabor has been in ill health and her right leg was partially amputated in January. But Blanchette calls her a fighter and adds, "She's not going to be the third."

Celeb myth
The rule of three can be traced back to 1959, when Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper all died in a plane crash. In 1970, rockers Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison died in close succession.
