Cindy Adams on Francesca Hilton: Rest in Peace Francesca



Hilton planned to see mother Zsa Zsa the day before her death

Awful week. Reporting loss, one after another whom I loved — Gov. Mario CuomoBess Myerson, now Zsa Zsa Gabor’s daughter. Francesca Hilton, 67, passed on Tuesday. Monday, as I arrived from Indonesia, she phoned me twice and told my housekeeper: “Tell Cindy I’m seeing my mother.”
The story, a Shakespearean tragedy. Zsa Zsa, whose superglamorous blond hair was a cloud, and sisters Magda and Eva, were Hungary’s glorious Gabors. I wrote jeweler mama Jolie’s biography. All are gone. I lived with them because my husband Joey starred in Vegas six weeks at a time over years with Zsa Zsa.
Zsa Zsa, 97, and counting, lost a leg, cannot speak, cannot eat, long bedridden and hidden so we can never get through, inquire after her or send love to her in her once lush Bel Air mansion formerly owned by Howard Hughes.
Zsa’s only child (father was hotel magnate Conrad Hilton) called me steadily. Often, multiple times in a day. Zsa Zsa’s last of many husbands Frédéric von Anhalt was, she screamed, “A self-proclaimed German prince . . . seeking mother’s fortune . . . he won’t let me see her.” This I’ve reported steadily. Francesca got lawyers, judge’s rulings, etc., was allowed, under supervision, to see her mom once a week for one hour.
Zsa’s now comatose. Francesca’s gone. Von Anhalt, who has let photographers into “his” home and once phoned me about a publisher to do his life-story — is all that’s left.
