Eva Gabor (February 11, 1919 - July 4, 1995) was a Hungarian-born socialite and actress, best remembered for her role as Lisa Douglas on the television sitcom Green Acres. Her elder sisters, Zsa Zsa Gabor and the late Magda Gabor, were also actresses and socialites, but unlike her sister, Eva found great success as an actress in film, on Broadway, and on television.
Marriages
Like her sisters, Eva Gabor was known for her string of marriages; she had five:
Eva Gabor died on July 4, 1995, aged 76, from respiratory failure and pneumonia in Los Angeles, California, following an accident in which she lost her balance and fell into her bathtub while vacationing in Mexico.

Eva is interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Westwood, California.[7] She is buried near her Green Acres co-star Eddie Albert, who died on May 26, 2005, at the age of 99.
