Zsa Zsa Gabor was remembered at an eccentric Beverly Hills memorial service Friday with her ashes displayed in a gold box pulled from a Luis Vuitton dog carrier.
 
The Hollywood glamour queen, who from a heart attack at age 99, would have been perfectly content with the buzz-worthy final flourish, her widower Frederic von Anhalt said.
“Dogs were her best people,” he told a modest crowd at the Church of the Good Shepherd.
Gabor’s ninth — and final — husband gave a 40-minute eulogy that focused on her thirst for the limelight and uncanny ability to grab headlines.
 
 “I want to remember the way she walked the red carpet," he said. “She loved it so much. Her life was only red carpet, nothing else.”
About 100 mourners gathered to recall the Hungarian-American actress who paved the way for future celebutantes with her attention-seeking antics, conspicuous consumption, multiple husbands and penchant for calling everyone “Dahlink.”
 
Von Anhalt said his wife’s name will endure for generations thanks to her inclusion on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“She will never be forgotten because she has her Hollywood star,” von Anhalt said. “It will always be Zsa Zsa Gabor. It will never end.”

Gabor, along with her famous sisters Eva and Magda, emigrated to America during World War II. She married Conrad Hilton in 1942. Their daughter Francesca died last year.

“She epitomized and personified Hollywood glamour," Father Edward Benioff said. "She could write. She could act. She had many, many talents."

She married von Anhalt in 1986, and he along with several devoted nurses cared for her in their Bel Air home in recent years.
"Zsa Zsa was just beautiful. So glamorous," von Anhalt told the Daily News after her death. "You don't see it anymore today."
 He said his wife died peacefully and without pain, her heart simply giving up.

"I think she wanted to go. It was her day," he said.
