LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Zsa Zsa Gabor's publicist says the 93-year-old actress is in extremely serious condition after having two blood clots removed at a Los Angeles hospital, and has received last rites.
Publicist John Blanchette said Sunday that he had spoken with Gabor's husband, Frederic Von Anhalt, who had told him of her condition. Blanchette described the situation as "very sad."
On Sunday, Blanchette told the Los Angeles Times that the actress had requested that a priest administer the sacrament, which he did that morning.
The Times also reported that Gabor was being tube-fed this weekend, but that doctors hoped she'd be able to eat without it by Monday.
Gabor was hospitalized Friday afternoon because she was bleeding and in a lot of pain. She was then in surgery for several hours Saturday for the removal of
the clots from her upper body, one of them very close to her heart.
