Zsa Zsa Gabor hospitalized for blood clot

[November 13, 2010]  LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A spokesman for actress Zsa Zsa Gabor says the actress has been admitted to a Los Angeles hospital for treatment of painful swelling in her legs.

John Blanchette says Gabor was admitted to Ronald Reagan UCLA Hospital earlier today after a doctor visited her at home, and said she had massive blood clots in her legs, which could make her vulnerable to a heart attack.

The 93-year-old Gabor has been hospitalized several times this year, and asked for a priest to read her last rites in August.

Since summer, Gabor has undergone surgery to remove clots from her upper body and has had a hip replacement surgery.
