Gabor relished his routines: He had his favourite table at Harry’s Bar in Venice for New Year’s Eve and sent Jane a Sachertorte from Vienna for every birthday. He always drove BMW convertibles, listened to classical music or the CBC and was often spotted parking illegally, honking and waving at friends while driving.
It was hard to get a word in edgewise. He often interrupted people, eager to share interesting insights from the six newspapers he read before 6 a.m. You could hear his alluring voice, infectious laugh and thunderous sneeze from a mile away. Yet he knew when to be silent. Gabor evaded the Nazis, hiding and living in a WallenbergHe left Budapest during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 to start a new life in Canada with just $10 sewn into his coat.
He loved reminiscing about the night Jane was born in New York, when he paced a hospital corridor with Francis Ford Coppola, talking about film, production, camera angles – even helping film the birth of Coppola’s daughter, Sofia.
