Made sure to take a screenshot of that moment. I remember I was watching Netflix at home and I was on the laptop at the same time and it was about 10 at night and for some reason I just happened to put zsa zsa name into google and a black banner with breaking news said she had died I thought it was a hoax so came on here and saw one post confirming the news there was nearly a double death as I nearly died of shock thought she would go on forever. I was quite surprised she died 50 days before her 100th birthday after surviving against the odds for so long was convinced the prince would get her to her 100th at all costs. It was the end of an era as zsa zsa was the one who got me into the death list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
