Eva Gabor (in Hungarian Gábor Éva) (February 11, 1919 – July 4, 1995) was a British-Hungarian actress.
She was born in Budapest, the daughter of Vilmos and Jolie Gabor (née Janka Tilleman). Her elder sisters were Magda Gabor and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Gabor's maternal family was Jewish and her maternal grandparents died in the Holocaust. Biographers speculate that her paternal family were originally Jewish as well, but converted to Roman Catholicism in order to assimilate, although this has not been confirmed.
Eva was the first in her family to immigrate to America. Her first movie role was a bit part in Forced Landing (1941) at Paramount Pictures. She acted in movies and on the stage throughout the 1950s. In the 1965, she commenced her best known role in the TV sitcom Green Acres, a Paul Henning production in which she portrayed Lisa Douglas, the New York wife of Oliver Wendell Douglas played by Eddie Albert who left New York City to live on a farm. This was a hit show for several seasons, ending in 1971, and is still seen in syndication.
In later years, she did notable voice-over work for Disney movies, providing the European-accented voices of Duchess in The Aristocats, Miss Bianca in The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under, and the Queen of Time in the Sanrio film, Nutcracker Fantasy.
She was also a successful businesswoman marketing the "Eva Gabor Wigs" and "The Eva Gabor Look".
Eva Gabor died at the age of 76 in Los Angeles of respiratory failure after suffering from food poisoning, on the American Independence Day in 1995. Although the youngest of the three sisters, she was the first of them to die. In 1997, her 100 year old mother died. A few months later her sister Magda died at the age of 82, 5 days before her 83rd birthday. Eva is interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Westwood, California. She is buried very close to her Green Acres co-star Eddie Albert.
