Zsa Zsa Gabor To Become New Mom at 94?

Prince von Anhalt says he will use his sperm, an egg donor and a surrogate mother.

 

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband says he and his wife are planning to have a baby with the help of artificial insemination and a surrogate mother.

67-year-old Prince Frederic von Anhalt visited a fertility clinic in Beverly Hills on Wednesday and told CNN, "I've gone through the initial steps of donor matching and blood work and next week the donation process will begin."

Anhalt plans to use his sperm and an egg donor and estimates that the entire process will cost about $100,000.

According to Anhalt, his 94-year-old wife has always dreamed of having a child with him and carry on the Gabor name.

Gabor's two sisters did not leave an heir and her only child -- 64-year-old Francesca Hilton, a product of Gabor's second marriage to hotel magnate Conrad Hilton -- does not use the Gabor name, says Anhalt.

Hilton's full name is Constance Francesca Gabor Hilton.

When Hilton heard the news about the baby, she described herself as shocked and told CNN "That's just weird."

Anhalt banned Hilton from visiting Gabor earlier this year.

Gabor has suffered major health problems this year. In recent months, she had her hip replaced and her leg amputated. She has been unable to walk since a 2002 car accident.

The prince is Gabor's ninth husband. He acquired his royal title when he was adopted as an adult by a German woman.

The Hungarian-born actress is famous for her many marriages and outspoken personality.

She is best known for her roles in John Huston's Toulouse-Lautrec biopic, "Moulin Rouge," in 1953, "The Story of Three Loves" in 1953, and Orson Welles' 1958 cult classic, "Touch of Evil."
