MEN KNOW ABOUT WOMEN!... WHAT DO MEN
EVERY MAN take cover! The zingy, zestful Zsa Zsa of the fabulous clan Gabor is on the warpath, and how!
I hardly had my foot in the door of her dressing room at St. Maurice near Paris, where she was making "Public Enemy No. 1" with the French comedian, Fernandel, when she proceeded to attack me — sorry, only verbally.
