In Their Own Words: The Best Tell-All Books Written By The Socially Elite

Zsa Zsa Gabor, One Lifetime Is Not Enough

Nine marriages, seven divorces and one annulment later, one wonders if Zsa Zsa Gabor still agrees with the title of her autobiography, One Lifetime Is Not Enough. Born in Budapest in 1917, she's survived both World Wars (her mother, of Jewish descent, barely escaped Nazi-occupied Budapest in 1944), all of the aforementioned marriages, and being taken to the cleaners by Bernie Madoff, who allegedly left her down a cool $10 million in 2009. Sadly, the book doesn't make it that far -- it was published in 1991 -- but there's more than enough romance, scandal, and a record of bad come-on lines guys have tried on her in the past. Why use a cheap line on a woman famous for this one: "I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house." One Lifetime Is Not Enough, by Zsa Zsa Gabor.  Delacorte Press, 1991.
