She really really suffered in her twilight years, and probably lived far longer than she should have. She was bedridden for most of the last decade of her life. Perhaps the only consolation was that she became so senile, according to reports, that she really didn't understand how awful her predicament was. Madoff apparently took what little money she had, and after that her and the "Duke of Saxony" probably got by on his inheritance from his "mother" and a trickle of royalty payments from nostalgia themed cable TV channels showing some of her work every so often. She was likely paying far lower property taxes on her villa than it was actually worth, due to California's infamous Proposition 13 tax limit law. But yeah, I'm finally glad she's no longer in pain.

True-she lived just two months shy of 100, but virtually all of her old age was lived frail and bedridden. Not a happy existence. I couldn't call it a life at that stage. Better to live a healthy life into one's 70s or 80s, than to be almost 100 and an invalid.

I was thinking the same thing and agree with you completely. But then I also thought about those who actually start out life as invalids. It's a difficult subject.

She will always be Eddie Albert's happy wife on Green Acres. RIP, sweet lady.

That was Eva, but she was often mistaken for Zsa Zsa.
