LOS ANGELES, July 23 (Reuters) - Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor is in critical condition and is not responding to human contact, her husband said on Friday.
The Hollywood legend, who is in her 90s, underwent hip replacement surgery on Monday after a fall at her Bel-Air home.
The surgery was successful in treating her broken hip, but Gabor suffered a concussion as a result of the fall and doctors are concerned that her condition will worsen, Prince Frederic von Anhalt told Reuters.
"The doctors want to observe her over the weekend to make sure her condition improves, but right now it is not looking good", von Anhalt told Reuters.
Von Anhalt, Gabor's 9th husband, said his wife was not technically in a coma but was not responding to those around her. She remains in a Los Angeles hospital.
The Hungarian-born actress was partially paralyzed in a 2002 car accident. She fell out of bed on Saturday while watching television and reaching to answer the phone.
Gabor starred in such films as "Moulin Rouge," "Lili" and "Touch of Evil," and was one of three glamorous sisters who stole the Hollywood limelight in the 1950s and 1960s.
Gabor has never admitted a birthdate but is thought by Hollywood journalists to have been born between 1917 and 1919.
