Zsa Zsa Gabor’s rep John Blanchette said that Gabor has cancerous lesions that have appeared on a leg and gangrene is imminent. Gabor was prepared for surgery on Sunday and part of her leg will be amputated below the knee.

Gabor was hospitalized in November for a swollen leg (which was thought to be a blood clot but was an infection). Gabor has been confined to a wheel chair since 2002 when she was involved in a car accident alongside her hairdresser and her car smashed into a light pole in Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
