Zsa Zsa Gabor's Husband Plans to 'Plastinate' Her Body

As America's vigil for Zsa Zsa Gabor continues, there's exciting news from her husband today.
The German husband of ailing 93-year-old Hollywood actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor said he wanted preserve her body by plastination after she dies, the Bild newspaper reported on Thursday.

"My wife has always dreamt that her beauty would be immortal," Frederic von Anhalt said, "I would like to show the plastinated body of Zsa Zsa Gabor in the context of a scene in one of her films."

Von Anhalt said German anatomist Gunther von Hagens should carry out the procedure, after his controversial world exhibitions displaying plastinated bodies with just muscles and tendons intact.

Gabor, who has been hospitalised several times in the past months, returned earlier this week to hospital in Los Angeles after von Anhalt had found her unconscious.
Maybe they can take the body on tour and have Arianna Huffington provide voiceovers.

If like me you're not up to speed on plastination, here's a primer.
