In the case of Zsa Zsa Gabor and her shady husband, Frederic

In the case of Zsa Zsa Gabor and her shady husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, even death won’t be able to tear these two apart, because though his beloved wife isn’t even dead yet–and is reportedly in stable condition as of this morning–Prince Freddie has big plans for her corpse. According to the New York Post, he plans on having her body preserved in plastic by the controversial creator of the Bodies exhibition. I don’t know if you’ve seen the Bodies exhibition (I haven’t), but the dessicated showpieces featured are (allegedly) the bodies of Chinese prisoners who’d been tortured and then executed. Whether that’s true or not, the corpses do not look either happy or remotely attractive. But whereas Emperor Shah Jahan constructed the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal as a memorial for his beloved third wife, Gabor’s ninth husband thinks his plan is just the ticket. He told the paper, “My wife has always dreamed that her beauty would be immortal . . . I would like to show the plastinated body of Zsa Zsa Gabor in the context of a scene in one of her films.” So not only would poor Zsa Zsa be drained of all fluids and dipped in lucite, her carcass would then be contorted into a kicky dance move from Moulin Rouge or maybe posed to reenact her special guest star appearance on “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.” No word on where this display might be mounted. Perhaps in the foyer of their Los Angeles estate, next to the taxidermied bodies of the couples’ pets?
