JMVINTAGE specializes in Books, Magazines and Treasures related to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor....and other curious people. "For my age, I am a miracle." The mother of the three most famous daughters in the world- Zsa Zsa, Eva, and Magda-tells all but her own age as she finally takes center stage from her miraculous offspring. Born to wealth in Budapest, Jolie, nee Jansci I Tilleman, got off to an ugly duckling start but I grew up to be so ravishing that debonair, sought-after Vilmos Gabor agreed to her six- month-plan for marriage-he would set her I free as a divorcee so that she could become an L actress. The marriage lasted 22 years. Jansci . I periodically ran away and, just as regularly, stormy, jealous but adoring Vilmos welcomed her back with expensive presents (once he bargained in advance for the next departure and return by promising her a ruby). Renouncing her own theatrical ambitions, Jansci shifted all her attention to the ladylike upbringing of her three daughters. A finishing school drop-out at 15, Zsa Zsa won a "Miss Hungary" contest-and lost it as soon as the I judges discovered she was underage. Not I daunted, her mother succeeded in bringing Zsa Zsa's beauty to the eyes of beholders who were important enough to cast her in a Viennese operetta; thus the first star in the Gabor firmament began to shine. Once the three girls were married, Jansci finally divorced Vilmos and launched a jewelry store she christened "Jolie's." The story of how the business grew and then was transplanted in New York, is all part of one of the most candid family portraits ever not sat for.
