LOS ANGELES (AP) – Zsa Zsa Gabor suffered an apparent stroke at her Bel-Air home and underwent emergency surgery to clear a blocked artery.

The two-hour operation late Wednesday was successful and the 88-year-old actress was expected to return home within three days, husband Frederic von Anhalt said Thursday. He declined to disclose the name of the Los Angeles hospital.

“She’s in intensive care, critical but stable,” von Anhalt said, adding: “She just didn’t have any feeling. She was numb. She was alert, but she had no feeling in her hand and couldn’t pick up anything.”

The Hungarian native appeared in numerous films including 1952’s “Moulin Rouge” and “Queen of Outer Space” in 1958. She appeared on TV specials, talk shows and game shows and as a guest on several series, often playing herself.
