Inside Zsa Zsa Gabor’s opulent 26-room mansion that was once home to Elvis Presley
The £28m Bel Air property also featured in the films Argo and Behind the Candelabra
ZSA Zsa Gabor was known for her lavish celebrity lifestyle and her palatial mansion decked out with framed pictures of herself was no different.
The Hollywood star lived with husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt in the upmarket LA suburb of Bel Air in a $28million property, complete with its own pool, sweeping driveway and 26 rooms packed with pricey antiques and furnishings.

But the couple were forced to put the luxurious pad on the market in 2011 after health problems limited them to using only two rooms.
At the time the cost of upkeeping the whole property was around £2,400 per month.
The house was built by maverick entrepreneur and aviator Howard Hughes in 1955 and was once home to Elvis Presley.
Zsa Zsa purchased the French Regency-style property for $280,000 in 1973, two years before marrying sixth husband Jack Ryan.
With around 8,000 square feet of space, Zsa Zsa and Prince Frederic had plenty of room to store their beautiful furniture and possessions – including multiple horse head decorations.
The glamorous home also featured antique pianos, chaise longues piled with cushions and ornate chandeliers.
The couple were able to stay in their home in 2012 after a Facebook campaign gave the Prince £1.2m personal loan which he used to pay off the mortgage.
Over the years, Zsa Zsa has hosted a multitude of famous faces at the luxury mansion - including Queen Elizabeth and US Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush Snr.
The property was also rented out to Hollywood productions and featured in the HBO special Behind the Candelabra and 2012 Oscar smash Argo.
