Zsa Zsa Gabor asked that a priest read her the last rites on Sunday, following hospitalisation due to complications from hip surgery.

The 93-year-old Gabor, whose string of movies, television shows and wealthy husbands dates to the 1950s, was visited by a priest at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centre, her husband Frederick Prinz von Anhalt, said.

Gabor was able to speak "very little", though she was conscious, he said.

Gabor was admitted on Friday to treat two blood clots, only two days after being released for hip replacement surgery. Gabor broke her hip on July 17 when she fell out of bed.

Said her publicist John Blanchette, "Her health has been up and down ever since."
