"Intimate Portrait" Eva Gabor (1998)

Intimate Portrait: Eva Gabor (vhs):

Amazon.com video review: Eva Gabor was the youngest of three talented sisters born to Hungarian parents. Yearning to become an actress, Gabor moved to Hollywood where she entered into uneventful contracts with Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox. Her subsequent move to Broadway garnered her success in the CBS teleplay The More the Merrier and Rodgers and Hammerstein's Broadway show The Happy Time. After landing solid supporting roles in plays like The Last Time I Saw Paris, Gabor became one of theater's top earners. Her most famous role was, of course, as Lisa Douglas in the successful television sitcom Green Acres. She also formed Eva Gabor International, a wig company destined to become the biggest in the world.

Eva Gabor was a talented and successful actress, but close friend Angie Dickinson asserts that she was also an intelligent, loyal, hard-working woman who paid dearly for her fame. Interviews with coworkers Eddie Albert, Debbie Reynolds, and Merv Griffin, and family members Zsa Zsa Gabor and stepdaughter Mary Jameson, pay tribute to a generous and loving Eva Gabor. Wonderful family photographs, archival footage of her career, and interviews with Gabor paint a fascinating picture of one of America's best-loved actresses. --Tami Horiuchi
