LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- Hollywood legendary actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has returned to her home in Los Angeles Monday to spend her final days home, her publicist said.

A priest was called to the hospital Sunday morning to administer the last rites, publicist John Blanchette said. The 93-year-old requested to see a priest and he administered her last rites after 10 a.m. Sunday.

Doctors wanted to perform some type of procedure on her liver on Monday, but Gabor declined, Blanchette said. She returned to her Bel Air estate to spend her finals days in the company of family.

Gabor was anxious to leave the hospital, Ed Lozzi, spokesman for Gabor's daughter, Francesca Hilton said. "Francesca just told me she's been wanting to go home for the whole day," Lozzi said. "She's happy that her mother is going home."

Gabor and husband Frederic Prinz von Anhalt celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary Saturday at the hospital, Blanchette noted.

Gabor had broken her hip July 17, had hip replacement surgery and had just returned home from the hospital Wednesday. She underwent surgery at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center on Saturday to get multiple blood clots removed from her upper body. One of the clots was very close to her heart.

A Hungarian-American actress, socialite and former beauty queen, Gabor was born Sari Gabor on Feb. 6, 1917, in Budapest, Hungary. She was discovered by opera tenor Richard Tauber during a trip to Vienna in 1936 and was invited to perform in "Der Singende Traum," or "The Singing Dream." She arrived in the United States about 1941.

By the early 1950s, she was appearing in films, including John Huston's version of "Moulin Rouge" and Orson Welles' "Touch of Evil." She also made appearances in numerous television programs.

Gabor made headlines in 1989 when she was arrested for slapping a Beverly Hills police officer who pulled her over for a traffic violation and spent three days in a jail.

In 2002, she was partly paralyzed in a car wreck in which her hairdresser was driving, and in 2005 she suffered a stroke. She has married nine times.

Gabor is the last of the three glamorous Gabor sisters, all of whom had careers in show business.

Magda, the eldest, died in 1997 at age 82. Eva, who starred in the 1960s CBS sitcom "Green Acres," died in 1995 at age 76.
