[edit] Biography
[edit] Early life
Magda's exact birth date is not known. Some sources have cited it as June 11, 1915 or June 11, 1914. Other sources have cited July 1, 1914 and July 10, 1915.[citation needed] No one believes the years of 1918 or 1919 that she assigned herself, which would have made her younger than her younger sisters, Zsa Zsa Gabor and the late Eva Gabor.
Stated on Magda's birth certificate, its states that Gabor's Mother Jolie, was 18 years old at the time of her birth. However, it has since been revealed than Jolie was born on September 29th 1892 which would make her 22 when Magda was born in 1915 not 18.
