Francesca Hilton
Francesca Hilton (born March 10, 1947 in New York City as Constance Francesca Gabor , † January 5, 2015 in Los Angeles ) was an American actress, comedian and author. She was the daughter of Zsa Zsa Gabor and Conrad Hilton .
Life
Hilton was the only child of Zsa Zsa Gabor and came from the second of her eight marriages, the marriage to the hotel magnate Conrad Hilton , with whom she was married from 1942 to 1947.
In addition to her work as an actress and writer, Hilton also worked as a photographer and publicist.
In 1971 she played at the suggestion of Jack Nicholson a supporting role in the film A magician at my side ( A Safe Place ) by Henry Jaglom . In the next few years, other small roles in films and television series followed. Since the early 1990s, Hilton has long appeared as a stand-up comedian in the Comedy Store in Los Angeles. In the last years of her life, Hilton became known about her mother's fortune through extensive legal disputes with Frédéric von Anhalt , her mother's eighth husband. Von Anhalt accused her of forging Gabor's signature, among other things, which allowed Hilton to take out a large loan. Hilton, in turn, sued him for forging Gabor's will. In 2012, she also applied for independent care for her seriously ill mother and requested a visitation right, which was granted to her by the court.
She died of a stroke at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
