Ailing movie actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has been admitted to a Los Angeles hospital, her husband says, adding he hopes the star of Hollywood's golden age would survive to celebrate her 100th birthday next year.

Gabor's ninth husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, told Reuters that Gabor was admitted to the UCLA Medical Center on Monday after having difficulty breathing and would have surgery on Tuesday.

Gabor, the Hungarian-born star of 1950s films Moulin Rouge and Lili who turned 99 on February 6, had been confined to her home for years following the 2011 amputation of a leg and other complications.

"We are waiting for the surgeons to remove her feeding tube and put in another. We don't have a date yet for the surgery," von Anhalt said.

Von Anhalt said Gabor's health was not bad for her age.

"She talks a little but not very much. She is hanging on.

"I hope she will hang on for a couple more years, and celebrate her 100th birthday next year. I think everything will be OK," he said.
