The youngest of the Gabor sisters was Eva, and to say that Eva worked for the career that Zsa Zsa sauntered into would be about right. An earnest actor, Eva toiled in relative obscurity for a quarter of a century before landing the role that finally made her a household name: Lisa Douglas, a big-city wife whose husband decides to leave it all behind for the bliss of their very own Green Acres. Through it all, in typical Gabor fashion, Eva married and divorced and married again (and divorced again, and again) and branched out into entrepreneurial endeavors, including Eva Gabor Wigs.

J.B. and Eddie take on The Rescuers (1977), Disney's thrilling animated adventure about two heroic mice on a mission to save a kidnapped girl. They dive into the film's surprisingly dark themes, its impact on Disney's animation legacy, and why it became one of the studio's biggest hits of the decade.

The ‘jewel heist of the Century' occurred at the American Museum of Natural History, New York on 29th October, 1964. Florida surfer ‘Murph the Surf' and his accomplices, Allan Kuhn and Roger Clark, stole priceless gems, including the Star of India, worth over $3 million today. The lax security at the institution, along with non-functional alarms and reduced staff, made the theft relatively easy - but the perceived glamour and audacity of the operation caught America's attention, as the nation mourned President Kennedy. In this episode, The Retrospectors consider the fate of the still-missing Eagle Diamond; reveal the natty dress sense Murph employed on night he pulled off the theft; and explain how an alleged encounter with Eva Gabor helped put the perpetrators behind bars… Further Reading: • ‘How Three Amateur Jewel Thieves Made Off With New York's Most Precious Gems' (Smithsonian Magazine, 2014): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-three-amateur-jewel-thieves-made-new-yorks-most-precious-gems-180949885/ • ‘How a Band of Surfer Dudes Pulled Off the Biggest Jewel Heist in N.Y.

If someone were to create an international version of the old TV show “Green Acres,” it might be about a couple who moves from a big city to a small rural village in Italy. Anthony Paonita and Kathy Scozzare relocated from Staten Island, New York to Valfabbrica, Italy, in the Umbria region, and they are having far less problems than Eva Gabor and Eddie Albert ever had. In fact, the couple love the Italian countryside. Learn about their journey from a metropolis to small town Italy, on Episode 157 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.Anthony and Kathy's informative and entertaining blog about living in Italy is (Not) A Year (Not) in Tuscany.And check out Nancy Steele's Podcast and Facebook page “Affordable Italy: Living La Dolce Vita on a Bootstring.”

Coucou everyone! Trigger warning: sexual abuse, rape Often called the "original Kardashians" (which is RUDE considering they did it first), Magda, Zsa Zsa, and Eva Gabor were three sisters from Hungary who moved to the US and became tabloid sensations where their personal lives literally equalled money. Between the three of them they married 19 times to 20 men (meaning there was overlap!!!), all of which we get into.

Who's ready for a little outback adventure? Kevin and Chris revisit The Rescuers Down Under, the oft-forgotten Disney movie which sits snugly between The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, in the early days of Disney's animation renaissance. With Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor returning as those selfsame Rescuer mice Bernard and Bianca one last time (barring a new Bernard-only sequel—RIP Eva, but happy 94th Bob!), you hardly ever hear about this one, possibly because unlike its contemporaries, it's not a musical. Is its relative obscurity deserved? Or is this an under-heralded gem?

We're happy to welcome Daniel Budnik (@dannyslacks1) to the podcast to discuss an underrated comic great of the 1960s, Green Acres. Daniel wrote “From Beverly Hills to Hooterville,” an episode guide and analysis of the three shows created by Paul Henning in the 1960s: The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Green Aces. We talk about the show's origin and how Jay Sommers based on the show on “Granby's Green Acres,” a radio show with a similar premise back in the 1950. There's a lot of talk on the show about Sommers and writing partner Chevillat, who scripted almost all of the show's 170 episodes over six seasons. There's lots of talk about the cast, headed by Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor and the various folks that inhabit Hooterville, including handyman Ed (Tom Lester) shifty salesman Mr. Haney (Pat Buttram) and of course, the breakout star of the show at the time, Arnold Ziffel (Arnold the Pig). We discuss the surreal and absurdist comedy found on the show, which probably goes back to the careers of Sommers and Chevillat, who worked with people in vaudeville, film and radio like the Marx Brothers, Burns and Allen and Laurel & Hardy. There's lots of talk about our favorite and/or memorable episodes and bits, including Lisa's cooking, Oliver's empassioned speeches about farming and all the metatext in the show. This was a very fun show to record and discuss such a television classic. We hope to have Daniel back on the show to talk about some of his other areas of research he has done in his books and podcasts, including Supertrain and Time Express, that's the Vincent Price “Fantasy Island on a train” show whose name we couldn't remember.

On this day in 1966, late-night talk show host Johnny Carson and actress Eva Gabor demonstrated how to play a new party game called Twister.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join us on today's episode as we travel to one of L.A.'s most famous cemeteries, The Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery located in Westwood off of Wilshire Blvd. The cemetery was established as Sunset Cemetery in 1905 but had been used for burials since the 1880s. In 1926 the name was officially changed to Westwood Memorial Park and was later changed again to Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary. Although it is the resting place of some of Hollywood's greatest names, it also contains the graves of many uncelebrated people.  Most of those famous names laid to rest within Westwood Memorial include Marilyn Monro, Jack Lemon, Natalie Wood, Hugh Hefner, Eva Gabor, Dorothy Stratten, Walter Matthau, Kirk Douglas, Dean Martin, Carolyn O'Connor, Eva Gabor, and Fanny Brice. We are joined by our friend and paranormal investigator, former crime scene photographer, and James Dean aficionado, Patrick Langdon.  You may have seen Patrick on Ghost Adventures, The Cecil Hotel Episode, and on LiveSciFi live streams.  He's traveled all across the U.S. investigating some of the most haunted locations, such as The Queen Mary, The Cecil Hotel, The Black Swan Inn, and The Sallie House.  Let's get Hollyweird with Patrick inside The Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.

"New York Is Where I'd Rather Stay": Green Acres Musical In the Works BY ANDREW GANS JULY 23, 2012 A Broadway-aimed musical version of the 1960s TV sitcom "Green Acres" is in the beginning stages, according to Variety. Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor in Green Acres Richard L. Bare, who directed more than 165 of the show's episodes, is working with the production company Hemisphere Two on the musical. Bare has already written a first draft of the musical's book, although no composer, lyricist or director is currently attached to the show. The "Green Acres" musical, according to the industry paper, will pick up "as if it were another episode of the series." No timeline for the production has been announced. Playbill.com Here are are a few new twists on the stage play's development: The television series, which ran on CBS from 1965-71, co-starred Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor, a New York lawyer and his wife who try to cope with living on a small farm in Hooterville.

Jason and Andy try discussing the tenth episode of the Love Boat - S01E10, Dear Beverly/The Strike/Special Delivery. Leslie Nielson cheats on his wife (who it turns out was at fault for his infidelity), Al from Happy Days gets in a fight with the Captain and a pregnant woman reconciles with her husband who didn't know she was 9 months pregnant. Meanwhile, Andy drinks to much again, Jason does a spot on Eva Gabor impression, and Brian actually talks.This is Part 1 of a 2 part episode of the podcast, not the love boat episode which was just a normal 45 minute episode. I just want to make that clear that the discussion of this episode spans 2 parts and almost 3 hours in total. You were warned.

Eva Gabor's appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson on May 3rd, 1966 introduced the party game ‘Twister' to an appreciative nation. Previously considered too racy for toy distributors, who nicknamed it ‘sex in a box', the game went on to sell an astonishing three million copies in that year alone. But it was also greeted with moral panic, following news reports that teenagers were having naked Twister parties.In this episode, Olly, Rebecca and Arion reveal the original names for the iconic game, consider the toy's induction into the US National Toy Hall of Fame - and ponder the surprising success of the Tonight Show spot, given that it was in black and white...Further reading:• The Tonight Show clip has been lost to history - but here's Merv Griffin and the band having a go a few days later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3kqLHFtlU4• Twister's induction into the US National Toy Hall of Fame: https://www.toyhalloffame.org/toys/twister• Twister's creators, Reyn Guyer and Mel Taft, on how Eva Gabor helped them hit the big time: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/feb/24/how-we-made-twisterFor bonus material and to support the show, visit Patreon.com/RetrospectorsWe'll be back tomorrow!

The first celebrities of their kind, the Gabors were considered famous for just being famous. With 19 husbands among the three of them and their fair share of very public affairs, they became notorious. But there was so much more to them than that. They were a tight-knit family of Hungarian immigrants who fought and escaped encroaching Nazi forces (all in their own unique way). They were successful businesswomen and talented performers who excelled together as well as apart. And, most importantly to us, they were sisters! Magda, Zsa Zsa, and Eva Gabor represent the best side of sisterhood: they were there for each other during their highs and lows, helped each other's careers, and stood by each other's sides until the end of their lives. Tune in to hear the whole story of the glamorous Gabor sisters! Follow us @sistoryuntold to stay up to date on all things Sistory!

During the eleventh month of 1990, we were able to rescue a hidden gem from the Disney vault:Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor return in the first animated theatrical sequel for Disney, as two mice who head off to Australia to recover a boy missing in the Outback. Cody has been captured by a nefarious poacher (George C. Scott) who has his sights set on the rare golden eagle that has befriended the boy. Will the stalwart rodents make it around the world in time to save Cody? This is The Rescuers Down Under!

Epic show with my old pal, iconic child actor, Mason Reese. We spanned Mason’s emergence into his Cleo Award-Winning showbiz career, from age 4 to co-hosting the Mike Douglas Show at 7, passing on Johnny, teaching himself the drums, meeting his idol, Buddy Rich, seeing Sinatra, cultivating Eddie Murphy, Nathan Lane, and Robert Townsend, with his actress mother, loads of talk show appearances, a self-titled sitcom pilot, a student thesis film for Brett Ratner… to the rock years, from playing and hanging at Heartbreak, The China Club, The Rock ’N Roll Cafe, for me, Spo-Dee-O-Dees, to owning his own club and restaurant, and shooting his dream show. Stories, stories, stories, of the people and friends he met along the way. Many, like me, have been around for decades. There’s (in no particular order) Bruce Willis, David Bowie, Phoebe Snow, Dan Wells, Michael Learned, Julian Lennon, Harry Chapin, Eva Gabor, Michael J. Fox, Gordon Lightfoot, Anthony Michael Hall, Stallone,Billy Idol, Cher, and Camilletti…so much info, so much fun! Great input from the Live audience, thanks Doug Kleiman & co for your suggetions and remembrances.

In the late 80s, Disney was reeling from a lackluster box office. It wasn't until 1989 and The Little Mermaid that they started to regain their footing. One film, released in that buffer zone between the gloom of the 80s and the boom of the 90s was Rescuers Down Under. The first animated movie to use the Computer Animated Production System, it was groundbreaking in many ways but ultimately tends to forgotten by all but the most diehard Disney fans. Join us as we travel with Bernard and Bianca to the land down under where they have to rescue Cody and the great Golden Eagle from the villainous poacher, McLeach. Bob Newhart, Eva Gabor, John Candy, and George C. Scott start in The Rescuers Down Under.

Ann Marie Hancock is an award-winning journalist, radio personality and talk show host who has interviewed many famous people. Some of her favorites are Alan Alda, Minnie Pearl and Eva Gabor. She has appeared on Bertice Berry, Rolanda, NBC’s The Other Side, The Angel Show, and Inside Edition. Her newest book, aptly titled after her mother’s escapades, You Can’t Drive Your Car to Your Own Funeral is an honest and unique book that looks at the challenges of guardianship and cancer. Written with deep spiritual insight that can only be cultivated through adversity, and tempered with humor, this book traverses the difficult passage of end-of-life caregiving and the challenges and joys that accompany it. “It was Ann Marie’s belief in God which was her strength, and this enabled this wound healer to face her greatest challenge yet.” – Susan Keefe, Midwest Book Review

Paris Model (1953) isn't the best of Eva Gabor's pictures, but it has a delightful spoof of her older sister, Zsa Zsa, and is a true gem. Eva Gabor stars in the best of four stories about the fortunes of one dress in the lives of different women. Eva had years of studio system training before she developed serious acting ambition for the stage. She should be better known if not for her family name, for her dedication to the craft and a writerly memoir.

Hey, folks! It's time for a brand-new episode of Mousterpiece Cinema, and the first of the post-Disney+ era. This week on the show, Scott and Josh are doing their penultimate Revisited episode as they look back at the 1970 Disney animated film The Aristocats, featuring the voices of Phil Harris, Eva Gabor, and more. Josh has already gone on record, time and again, as not remotely having liked this film in the past. Has he finally changed his mind, or is he still staunchly against this laid-back story of a prim domesticated animal who falls for a fellow from the wrong side of the tracks? And does Scott's nostalgia for the film mean he'll be fighting in favor of The Aristocats? Naturallement, you'll have to listen to find out!

We're flying down to the bayou this week with The Rescuers, the spunky team of Eva Gabor and her sidekick who somehow manages to do the same caliber of work despite being a terrified, superstitious janitor. Two alligators and one fight with Great Value Cruella later, and we suddenly have an adopted orphan. Come for the cute animals, run away from the badly misplaced 70's ballads.If you enjoy our podcast, please rate us and leave us a review!

They were so big that it took more than one continent to contain them. These thirteen things that you probably didn't know about The Rescuers Down Under, should satisfy your cravings for squeaky sleuths until the inevitable live action version comes out. This was Eva Gabor's last film before her death in 1995. A third Rescuers movie was planned for 1996, but after her death, this and all future Rescuers movies were scrapped. In the original Rescuers film, the albatross Orville was voiced by Jim Jordan, who died two years before this film released. The producers didn't want to replace Jordan, so Orville was replaced with the character's brother Wilbur, voiced by John Candy. This is a reference to the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, the inventors and pilots of the first functional airplane. Disney's first animated sequel. This would later carry on with Fantasia 2000 and Winnie the Pooh, whilst the rest of the sequels would be straight to video. This was the first 100% digital feature film ever made. The animation and backgrounds were done traditionally but all of the coloring, many effects, and the final film printing was all done digitally. This was also the first film produced with Disney's Academy Award-winning "CAPS" production system, which cut the production time down by at least six months. On its initial release, this film was preceded by the Mickey Mouse short subject The Prince and the Pauper. Interestingly enough, this was only the second Mickey Mouse short made since the 1950s, with the first being Mickey's Christmas Carol, which was made to accompany the 1983 re-release of The Rescuers. The twisted version of "Home on the Range" that McLeach sings was not performed by George C. Scott. It was instead sung by the voice of Joanna, Frank Welker. This is the least successful film released during the Disney Renaissance between 1989-1999. After it only grossed $27,931,461 from that weekend's box office, Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg pulled all television advertisements for the film. Opening on the same weekend as Home Alone, which went on to gross more than ten times as much, did not help its cause. This financial failure discouraged Disney from releasing subsequent non-computer-animated sequels in theaters with very few exceptions. Originally Wilbur's calendar was to have a picture of Bart Simpson from The Simpsons; which can be seen in the original animatic. A lifelong Disney fan, Bruce Broughton jumped at the chance to compose the score and turned down an offer to score Home Alone to work on this film. Is the last Disney Film to be accompanied by a Featurette that's over 20 minutes long, up until Pixar's Coco 27 years later. The first Disney animated feature to use fully-rendered CG backgrounds. Storyboard artist Joe Ranft constantly bolstered the creative morale of his crew, but rarely drew storyboard sequences himself. In addition to this, Ranft entered creative disagreements with the studio management and marketing executives, including one disagreement where he optioned for the casting of an Aboriginal Australian child actor to voice Cody, which was overridden with the decision to cast "a little white blonde kid." Noting the rise of Americans becoming more environmentally conscious, this marks as the studio's first film since Bambi to have an animal rights and environmental message.

Gigi refuses to be anyone's mistress, however, and Gaston must choose between her and his carefree lifestyle.

Jim talks about another favorite from his childhood and a film starring one of his idols, 1954's "The Mad Magician," starring Vincent Price, Mary Murphy, Patrick O'Neal, Eva Gabor, John Emery and Donald Randolph. Don Gallico is a genius inventor of illusions who has his dream dashed by the man he works for. Revenge is on the menu for this classic. Find out more on this episode of "monster Attack!"

In this episode of About Men Radio, Chris and Pedro debate the finer points of country vs. city living. The discussion is not exactly the opening credits of “Green Acres,” but let’s just say that Chris was more the Eddie Albert character in this talk and Pedro identified more strongly with Eva Gabor.

A title like The Sugar Bean Sisters may conjure up images of sweet Southern belles, mint julips, or quaint sibling rivalries that end in hugs, forgiveness and tears. Perhaps it invokes memories of the female singing groups of by-gone days like the Andrews Sisters Wrong. Faye Clementine and Willie Mae Nettles are living out their lives in their ramshackle family home in swamp-side Sugar Bean, Florida. Once a happy family of five, they’re down to two after Mama’s passing, Papa’s hanging (by mob after accidentally poisoning 14 beauty pageant contestants,) and third sister Robinelle’s unfortunate consumption by ‘gator. Willie Mae pines for the local Mormon Bishop and the bright lights of Salt Lake City. Faye longs for the return of an alien spaceship that landed in their corn field twenty-five years ago, and hopes it will whisk her away to some distant planet. Their mundane existence is interrupted by the arrival of Miss Videllia Sparks, a “dancer” out of New Orleans stranded by car trouble. Then things start to get weird. A hidden grapefruit fortune, Eva Gabor wigs, sandwiches, Jack Daniels, snakes, the Weekly World News, voodoo curses, Disney World, ghosts, a Reptile Woman and spontaneous human combustion all come to play over this bizarre play’s two hour running time. Need I say this show has some twists and turns to it? Director Denise Elia-Yen has gathered a tight ensemble of performers, including Lydia Revelos, Larry Williams and Sharon Griffith, but make no bones about it, Mesdames Mary Gannon Graham and mollie boice rule the Sugar Bean roost as the strangest pair of sisters since Blanche and ‘Baby’ Jane Hudson from Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? The humor, as that reference may indicate, is often macabre as the show begins by taking you one on one journey and by intermission veers to another. The humor, though plentiful, gets darker and darker as the evening progresses. All this weirdness takes place on finely detailed, over-stuffed, multi-level set by Eddy Hansen and Elizabeth Bazzano that is as much a character in this piece as any of the performers. It may be the most interesting set I’ve seen in the Condiotti space. Adding to the swampy ambience are some nice projections by Patrick Taber and a terrific sound design by Jessica Johnson. It’s tough to categorize the Spreckels Theatre Company’s production of The Sugar Bean Sisters. Nathan Sanders’s script is a southern gothic theatrical stew - part family drama, part jet-black comedy, and part supernatural fantasy. At heart, it’s a comedy of desperation. It’s the oddest play I’ve seen in while, and I just saw a play about Jeffrey Dahmer. It’s campy, creepy and often very funny. There’s certainly nothing else like it on stage right now in this area. By all means, head on out to the Spreckels Performing Arts Center, if ya like. But DON’T sit in Momma’s chair. It just ain’t done… The Sugar Bean Sisters plays at the Spreckels Performing Arts Center in Rohnert Park through April 9. For more information, go to spreckelsonline.com

I'm honored to have Rachelle Carson Begley on my show today. She's an actress, mom, environmentalist, and wife to the incredible Ed Begley, Jr..  Rachellle already knew she wanted to be an actress four years old and landed her first professional job on the soap “Another World” when she was only 20. Rachelle and Ed  recently wrapped their third season of their own show “Living With Ed” on Discovery’s Planet Green. It’s about their wonderfully wacky lifestyle that hopefully one day will be more main stream. But, today, it’s still a novelty. They live in a solar powered house, and drive a Prius or Ed’s all electric car around LA. They recycle everything! It’s been an adjustment to live like he does, but she managed to adjust. She has said she feels a little like Eva Gabor in “Green Acres.” Rachelle is also very involved in several non-profits. Over the years, she has supported many charities, including Water Keepers, Green Wish, anything involving children and Alzheimer’s Disease. We'll talk about the environment's impact on our health. Tune in and call with questions!
