One Foot in 1941

Every age has its Madame Pompadour, its Lady Hamilton, its Queen of Sheba, its Cleopatra, and I wouldn’t be surprised if history singles out Zsa Zsa as the twentieth-century prototype of this exclusive coterie.

Zsa Zsa was like champagne, and I as her husband was hard put to keep up with her standard of effervescence.

After our divorce, Zsa Zsa and I enjoyed a much more harmonious relationship. We got along as friends infinitely better than we did as marriage partners. No one is a better date than Zsa Zsa. No one is a better companion on a trip even if it involves roughing it. Zsa Zsa is perhaps the most misunderstood woman of our times. She is misunderstood because she is guileless. She allows her vitality and instincts to spring from her without distortion. She doesn’t disguise her love of amorous entanglements or jewels or whatever else catches her fancy, because her character is pure.

In memory of George Henry Sanders, born on this day in 1906!

Happy Birthday George Henry Sanders (3rd July 1906 - 25 April 1972)
